TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42098 SUBJECT: GRB 251001A: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 25/10/03 18:19:12 GMT FROM: Anuraag Arya at IIT Bombay <aryaanuraag910@gmail.com> Harsha K. H. (IUCAA), M.

Rao (IUCAA/TIFR), and S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration: Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data with the CIFT framework (Sharma et al., 2021, JApA, 42, 73) showed the detection of GRB 251001A which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN Circ. 41993), Insight-HXMT (Wang et al., 42057). We detect only the second pulse as seen in the GBM lightcurve because the source is likely at a sky position where our effective area is low. The source was detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2025-10-01 02:40:59.96 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 372 (+65, -75) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all four quadrants, with a total of 333 (+172, -206) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1380 (+11, -11) counts/s. Due to the intrinsic 1 s binning of veto data, we cannot reliably estimate a T90 from it. CZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, URSC, IUCAA, SAC, and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed, and facilitated the project.
