TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 32613 SUBJECT: GRB 220930A: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 22/10/02 05:27:01 GMT FROM: Gaurav Waratkar at IIT,Bombay R. Gopalakrishnan (IUCAA), V. Prasad (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 GRB 220930A which was also detected by Swift-BAT (Cenko et at., GCN 32603), Swift-XRT (Evans et al., GCN 32608), and Swift/UVOT (Belles et al., GCN 32609). The source was clearly detected in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2022-09-30 11:11:52.50 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 435 (+49, -54) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 1508 (+301, -353) counts. The local mean background count rate was 501 (+3, -3) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 9 (+8, -5) s. It was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2022-09-30 11:11:51.80 UTC. The measured peak count rate is 911 (+80, -88) counts/s above the background in the combined Veto data of all quadrants, with a total of 3694 (+515, -521) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1597 (+6, -7) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 13 (+5, -5) 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. 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.
