Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data with the CIFT framework (Sharma et al., 2021, JApA, 42, 73) showed the detection of GRB 230802B which was also detected by Fermi (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 34322).
The source was faintly detected in the 20-200 keV energy range in two quadrants. The light curve peaks at 2023-08-02 23:58:47.95 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 145.4 (+108.1, -8.4) counts/s above the background in the combined data of two quadrants, with a total of 169 (+54, -65) counts. The local mean background count rate was 151.0 (+5.2, -5.8) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 2.7 (+0.8, -1.1) s.
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.
