TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42167 SUBJECT: GRB 251007A: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 25/10/08 12:42:43 GMT FROM: Anuraag Arya at IIT Bombay <aryaanuraag910@gmail.com> S. Salunke (IUCAA), 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-duration GRB 251007A which was also detected by Swift/BAT (GCN Circ. 42146), Glowbug (GCN Circ. 42151) and Calet GBM (GCN Circ. 42156). The source was clearly detected in the CZT detectors in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve showed multiple peaks of emission with the strongest peak at 2025-10-07 19:37:51.50 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 579 (+44, -41) counts/s above the background in the combined data three quadrants out of four, with a total of 4746 (+253, -236) counts. The local mean background count rate was 186 (+1, -2) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 17.5 (+4.1, -1.3) s. The source was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve showed multiple peaks of emission with the strongest peak at 2025-10-07 19:37:49.6 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 1557 (+83, -88) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 9759 (+524, -526) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1146 (+3, -4) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 16.9 (+6.6, -1.3) 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.
