TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 20214 SUBJECT: GRB161129A : Astrosat CZTI detection DATE: 16/11/29 15:56:22 GMT FROM: Vidushi Sharma at IUCAA V. Sharma, D. Bhattacharya and V. Bhalerao (IUCAA), A. R. Rao (TIFR) and S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration: Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data showed clear detection of GRB161129A (Swift BAT detection: S. Barthelmy et al., GCN Circ. 20210) in the 40-200 keV energy range. The light curve shows multiple peak structure at 07:12:06.0 UT, after 27 secs of the Swift Trigger. The measured peak count rate is 170.205 counts/sec above the background in combined data of four quadrants, with a total of 2160.0 counts. The local mean background count rate was 377.79 counts/sec. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 34.06 secs. CZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb. CZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, ISAC, IUCAA, SAC and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed and facilitated the project. ------------------------- Vidushi JRF IUCAA, Pune E-mail: vidushi@iucaa.in -------------------------
