TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44560 SUBJECT: GRB 260511B: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 26/05/11 17:32:28 GMT FROM: Anuraag Arya at IIT Bombay <aryaanuraag910@gmail.com> A. Arya (IITB), A.

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 a long GRB 260511B which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 44542), SVOM/ECLAIRs (Godet et al., GCN 44543), and NuSTAR (Waratkar et. al. , GCN Circ. 44556). The source was clearly detected in the CZT detectors in the 20-200 keV energy range.The light curve showed multiple peaks of emission with the strongest peak at 2026-05-11 11:01:02.99 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 398 (+41, -36) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 3131 (+342, -481) counts.The local mean background count rate was 282 (+2, -4) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 39 (+3, -2) s from the cumulative CZT light curve. The source was clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range.The light curve showed multiple peaks of emission with the strongest peak at 2026-05-11 11:01:02.74. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 1362 (+85, -90) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 7777 (+766, -805) counts.The local mean background count rate was 1287 (+4, -5) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 37 (+16, -3) s from the cumulative Veto light curve. 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.
