TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40077 SUBJECT: GRB 250403A: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 25/04/05 10:38:20 GMT FROM: Gaurav Waratkar at IIT Bombay <gauravwaratkar@iitb.ac.in> M. Tembhurnikar (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 a long duration GRB 250403A which was also detected by Fermi GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 40025) and SVOM/ECLAIRs (Y. Julakanti et. al. GCN Circ. 40026). The source was clearly detected in the CZT detectors in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2025-04-03 15:15:26.00 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 80 (+18, -23) counts/s above the background in the combined data of three quadrants (out of four), with a total of 343 (+110, -184) counts. The local mean background count rate was 225 (+3, -2) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 9.1 (+1.3, -5.5) s. 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.
