Biltzinger, F. Kunzweiler, F. Berlato, J. Burgess & J. Greiner (all MPE Garching) report: The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger 615127794 at 12:49:49 on 29 June 2020 were automatically fitted for spectrum and sky location with BALROG (Burgess et al. 2018, MNRAS 476, 1427; Berlato et al. 2019, ApJ 873, 60). The best-fit position (1 sigma statistical errors) is: RA(2000.0) = 339.4+/-3.0 deg Decl.(2000.0) = -64.8+/-1.0 deg We estimate an additional systematic error of 1 deg.

At 12:49:49.29 UT on 29 Jun 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 200629A (trigger 615127794 / 200629535). The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 338.46, Dec = -65.59 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 22h 34m, -65d 35'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.8 degrees. On-ground localization was delayed by a network outage. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 71.0 degrees.

Gupta, V. Sharma and D. Bhattacharya (IUCAA), V. Bhalerao (IIT-B), A. R. Rao (IUCAA/TIFR) and S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration: Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data showed the detection of a long GRB 200629A, which was also detected by BALROG (Biltzinger B. et al., GCN #28039), Fermi GBM (GCN #28040) and Global MASTER-Net (Lipunov V. et al., GCN # 28041). The source was clearly detected in the 40-200 keV energy range. The light curve showed multiple peaks of emission with the strongest peak at 2020-06-29 12:49:53.599 UT. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 337 +/- 28 cts/s above the background in the combined data of four quadrants, with a total of 3117 +/- 32 cts. The local mean background count rate was 486 +/- 1 cts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 27.14 +/- 0.12 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 2020-06-29 12:49:52.574 UT. The measured peak count rate is 310 +/- 33 cts/s above the background in the combined Veto data of four quadrants, with a total of 2105 +/- 42 cts. The local mean background count rate was 1414 +/- 1 cts/s. We measure a T90 of 21.01 +/- 0.20 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, ISAC, IUCAA, SAC and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed and facilitated the project.
