TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 35575 SUBJECT: GRB 240118D: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 24/01/19 06:44:00 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 240118D which was also detected by INTEGRAL-SPI-ACS (Trigger Num. 10478). The source was clearly detected in the CZT detectors in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2024-01-18 07:48:13.55 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 351 (+165, -33) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 584 (+142, -136) counts. The local mean background count rate was 323 (+7, -10) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 4 (+1, -1) s. We also see a faint second extended peak, consistent with the light curve from INTEGRAL-SPI-ACS, which is more prominently seen in the Veto detectors as reported below. 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 2024-01-18 07:48:12.73 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 1088 (+90, -49) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 5639 (+649, -701) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1402 (+6, -7) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 30 (+7, -4) 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.
