TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44608 SUBJECT: GRB 260512A: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 26/05/14 10:11:36 GMT FROM: Anuraag Arya at IIT Bombay <aryaanuraag910@gmail.com> M.

Bhattacharya (Ashoka University/IUCAA), A. R. 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 260512A which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 44587), and NuSTAR (Waratkar et. al. , GCN Circ. 44591). The source was clearly detected in the CZT detectors in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2026-05-12 16:56:47.5 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 302 (+33, -31) counts/s above the background in the combined data of two quadrants (out of four), with a total of 1755 (+142, -215) counts. The local mean background count rate was 159 (+2, -5) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 13 (+1, -1) s from the cumulative CZT light curve. The source was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2026-05-12 16:56:46.4 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 655 (+88, -70) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 3682 (+588, -378) counts.The local mean background count rate was 1822 (+7, -14) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 10 (+2, -2) 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.
