TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45327 SUBJECT: GRB 260808A: NuSTAR detection of prompt emission DATE: 26/08/09 07:43:36 GMT FROM: Gaurav Waratkar at Caltech <gauravwaratkar@iitb.ac.in> G. Waratkar (Caltech) and B. Grefenstette (Caltech) report on behalf of the NuSTAR Search for INteresting Gamma-ray Signals (SINGS) working group: The NuSTAR SINGS working group reports the detection of prompt emission from the long-duration GRB 260808A in both the NuSTAR CsI anti-coincidence shields. Details of the search algorithm will be described in a future paper. The NuSTAR SINGS algorithm, triggered at 2026-08-08T02:51:42.310 UTC, shows a detection of GRB 260808A, also detected by Fermi-GBM (GCN 45313). The NuSTAR CsI shield data are recorded at 1 Hz. We detect a single episode with two peaks lasting for about 20-s. The peak count rate is ~1500-cps with a baseline rate of ~1000-cps during this time period. We do not see any evidence in the signal above 100 keV in the CZT detectors. The Fermi-GBM localization (GCN 45313) at RA = 341.8, Dec = 14.1 implies an offset from the NuSTAR boresight of 76-deg (i.e. from the side) and an offset from the geocenter of 135-deg.
