P. S. Marrocchesi (U of Siena) and the CALET collaboration:

GRB 160525C (Konus-Wind trigger time on 10:54:28.0 UT) triggered the CALET Gamma-Ray 
Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 10:54:20.25 on 25 May 2016.  The burst signal was seen by all 
CGBM instruments.

The light curve of the SGM shows a double peak structure starting at T0+4 sec, peaking 
at T0+5 sec, and ending at T0+6.5 sec sec.  The T90 duration measured by the SGM data 
is 2.4 +- 0.3 sec (40-230 keV).  The light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1148208864/index.html

The CGBM data used in this analysis are provided by the Waseda CALET Operation Center
located at the Waseda University.

Subject
GRB 160525C: Astrosat CZTI detection
Date

From
Varun Bhalerao at IUCAA <varunb@iucaa.in>
V. Bhalerao (IUCAA), V. Kumar (IUCAA), D. Bhattacharya (IUCAA), A. R. Rao (TIFR), S. Vadawale (PRL)  report on behalf of the Astrosat CZTI collaboration:

Analysis of Astrosat data showed the detection of GRB 160525C (Sakamoto
et al., GCN 19471; Konus Wind trigger time 10:54:28.0 UT) in CZTI data.
The source was clearly detected in the 40-240 keV energy range. The
light curve shows a complex structure, with the strongest peak at UT
10:54:23 and a peak count rate of 640 counts/sec above the background
(four quadrants summed together), with a total of 2796 counts. The local
mean background count rate of 86.2 is counts/sec. Using cumulative
rates, we measure a T90 of 5.1 sec.

CZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at
http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=node/9 . CZTI is built by a TIFR-led
consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, ISAC, IUCAA, SAC
and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed and
facilitated the project.
