TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 39519 SUBJECT: GRB 250226B: INTEGRAL SPI-ACS and PICsIT detection DATE: 25/02/27 14:32:17 GMT FROM: Aishwarya L Thakur at INAF-IAPS, Rome <aishth@outlook.com> James Craig Rodi(a), Aishwarya Linesh Thakur(a), Patrizia Barria(a,b), Giulia Gianfagna(a), Lorenzo Natalucci(a,b), Luigi Piro(a), report: GRB 250226B was discovered by Fermi/GBM (GCN 39503) at 2025-02-26T22:30:23 (UTC). In a SPI-ACS light curve above 80 keV, we find a signal temporally coincident with the GBM detection, having an approximate duration of ~ 20 sec. The signal consists of multiple pulses over this duration. The strongest pulse of this signal is also detected in the IBIS/PICsIT data. The approximate peak count rate in SPI-ACS is 95,000 cts/s for E>80 keV, over a median background rate of 63,000 cts/s. This work is based on observations with INTEGRAL, an ESA project with instruments and a science data centre funded by ESA member states (especially the PI countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and Spain), and with the participation of Russia and the USA. The SPI-ACS detector system has been provided by MPE Garching/Germany. ----- (a) INAF/IAPS-Rome (b) ICSC National Research Centre for High-Performance Computing View this GCN Circular online at https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/39519. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0LW...
