TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 33479 SUBJECT: GRB 230313A: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 23/03/15 03:17:07 GMT FROM: Gaurav Waratkar at IIT,Bombay A. Ahmad (IITB), G. Waratkar (IITB), P K. Navaneeth (IUCAA), 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 230313A which was also detected by Fermi GBM (GCN Circ. 33467). The source was faintly detected in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2023-03-13 11:38:43.9 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 211.1 (+167.6 -9.9) counts/s above the background in the combined data of three quadrants (out of four), with a total of 259 (+104 -110) counts. The local mean background count rate was 371.0 (+8.7 -8.6) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 3.68 (+0.61 -2.44) s. It was also faintly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2023-03-13 11:38:43.2 UTC. The measured peak count rate is 270.4 (+59.6 -65.5) counts/s above the background in the combined Veto data of three quadrants (out of four), with a total of 463 (+172 -181) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1116.0 (+5.4 -6.4) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 4.28 (+1.18 -3.20) 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.
