TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 31408 SUBJECT: GRB 220107A: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 22/01/08 05:33:42 GMT FROM: Gaurav Waratkar at IIT,Bombay A. Suresh (IITB), G. Waratkar (IITB), V. Prasad (IUCAA), A. Vibhute (IUCAA), V. Bhalerao (IITB), D. Bhattacharya (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 detection of a long GRB 220107A, which was also detected by Fermi-GBM (GCN 31399, 31406), and Swift/BAT-GUANO (Tohuvavohu et al., GCN 31402) with BALROG localization (Greiner et al. GCN 31400). The source was clearly detected in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve showed multiple peaks of emission with the strongest peak at 2022-01-07 14:46:59.50 UT. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 382 (+36 -38) cts/s above the background in the combined data of four quadrants, with a total of 4724 (+364 -472) cts. The local mean background count rate was 149 (+1 -1) cts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 97 (+4 -5) s. It 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 2022-01-07 14:46:57.70 UT. The measured peak count rate is 1451 (+86 -94) cts/s above the background in the combined Veto data of four quadrants, with a total of 13589 (+1062 -1220) cts. The local mean background count rate was 1500 (+4 -4) cts/s. We measure a T90 of 87 (+2 -2) s from the cumulative Veto light curve. CZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb [1]. 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.
