Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data with the CIFT framework (Sharma et al., 2021, JApA, 42, 73) showed the detection of a short GRB 230430A which was also detected by Fermi (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 33713).
The source was clearly detected in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2023-04-30 07:47:18.95 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 4406 (+1160, -973) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 405 (+71, -61) counts. The local mean background count rate was 423 (+13, -39) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 0.28 (+0.04, -0.02) s.
The source was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range.
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.
