Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data with the CIFT framework (Sharma et al., 2021, JApA, 42, 73) showed the detection of a short-duration GRB 240807B which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 37101) and INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS (Trigger 10842).
The source was clearly detected in the CZT detectors in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2024-08-07 22:04:13.6 UTC. The measured peak count rate, as measured with 32 ms binning, is 431 (+266, -105) counts/s above the background in the combined data of three quadrants (out of four), with a total of 45 (+23, -24) counts. The local mean background count rate was 240 (+15, -22) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 0.15 (+0.08, -0.09) 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.
