TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 38544 SUBJECT: GRB 241212A: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 24/12/12 15:45:53 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 a long-duration GRB 241212A which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi-GBM Team, GCN Circ. 38540), and SVOM/ECLAIRs (Li et al., GCN Circ. 38541). The source was clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2024-12-12 09:21:49.4 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 238 (+71, -38) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 1473 (+319, -369) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1331 (+6, -7) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 14 (+1, -6) 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.
