TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43789 SUBJECT: GRB 260219A: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 26/02/21 09:34:45 GMT FROM: Anuraag Arya at IIT Bombay <aryaanuraag910@gmail.com> 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,faint GRB 260219A which was also detected by Fermi GBM (Fermi GBM Team., GCN Circ. 43785), and GECAM-B (Jin-Peng Zhang et al., GCN Circ. 43787). The source was clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2026-02-19 14:04:53.66 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 345 (+63, -68) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 974 (+218, -254) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1127 (+7, -7) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 6.8 (+1.6, -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.
