TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 35636 SUBJECT: GRB 240124B: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 24/01/26 08:28:51 GMT FROM: Gaurav Waratkar at IIT Bombay <gauravwaratkar@iitb.ac.in> J. Joshi (IUCAA), G. Waratkar (IITB), A. Vibhute (IUCAA), V. Bhalerao (IITB), D. 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 GRB 240124B. We also inspected INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS data, and see a detection there. The source was clearly detected in the CZT detectors in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2024-01-24 21:14:33.25 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 386 (+141, -69) counts/s above the background in the combined data of three quadrants (out of four), with a total of 322 (+81, -76) counts. The local mean background count rate was 257 (+5, -10) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 2.35 (+0.34, -0.9) s. The source was also detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2024-01-23 21:14:31.78 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 710 (+72, -80) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 1164 (+159, -179) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1303 (+6, -8) 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.
