Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data with the CIFT framework (Sharma et al., 2021, JApA, 42, 73) showed the detection of a short GRB 230604A which was also detected by KONUS-Wind (IPN_RAW Notices).
The source was clearly detected in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2023-06-04 05:53:48.0 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 669.5 (+184.9, -93.0) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 357 (+164, -169) counts. The local mean background count rate was 431.1 (+12.1, -15.6) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 1.24 (+0.99, -0.73) s.
The source was also 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.
