on behalf of the Astrosat-CZTI team, report:
The short-duration GRB 240531A
(Astrosat-CZTI detection: Wang et al., GCN 36586)
was detected by Astrosat (CZTI), Konus-Wind (KW), in the waiting mode,
and Swift (BAT) at about 68052 s UT (18:54:12).
The burst occurred during Swift slewing interval
(when normal BAT triggering is disabled).
We have triangulated it to a BAT-Konus annulus centered at
RA(2000)=91.405 deg (06h 05m 37s) Dec(2000)=+25.128 deg (+25d 07' 40"),
whose radius is 84.474 +/- 16.042 deg (3 sigma).
The annulus combined with Swift and Astrosat Earth occultation information, and the KW ecliptic latitude response, gives 3848 sq. deg (3 sigma) localization region.
