Chenyu Wang, Zirui Yang and Longhao Li report on behalf of the GRID Collaboration:
GRID-03B reports the detection of the long-duration GRB 240306A, which was also detected by Fermi/GBM, Swift/BAT-GUANO and AstroSat CZTI (GCN Circular 35885, 35889 and 35892).
The event was triggered with GRID on 2024-03-06 at 06:45:48 UTC. The measured burst duration (T90) in the 30-2000 keV range is approximately 10.0 ± 1.0 seconds. Due to its proximity to Earth's atmosphere in the view of GRID-03B, the spectral data from GRID for this event may not be accurate.
