TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44696 SUBJECT: GRB 260522B: NuSTAR detection of prompt emission DATE: 26/05/22 17:46:34 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 260522B 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 2026-05-22T09:35:00.13 UTC, shows a detection of GRB 260522B, also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 44694) and SVOM/GRM (Burst-ID sb26052201). The NuSTAR CsI shield data are recorded at 1 Hz. We detect two peaks lasting for a total of about 100-s, consistent with the GBM lightcurve. The peak count rate is ~1500-cps with a baseline rate of ~1000-cps during this time period. We do not see evidence in the signal above 100 keV in the CZT detectors. The Fermi/GBM localization (GCN 44694) at RA = 278.65, Dec = -33.23 implies an offset from the NuSTAR boresight of 72-deg (i.e. from the side) and an offset from the geocenter of 142-deg.
