The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB

At 00:45:47 UT on 25 May 2019, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 190525A (trigger 580437952.651712 / 190525032).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 338.0, Dec = 5.5 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 22h 32m, 5d 30'), with a statistical uncertainty of 4.0 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 43.0 degrees.

report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:

At 2019-05-25T00:45:47.65 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected 
GRB 190525A(trigger ID: HEB190525031) in a routine search of the data, 
which was also triggered by Fermi/GBM (GCN #24662). 

The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of single  
pulse with a duration (T90) of 0.90 s measured from T0-0.20 s. 
The 1-ms peak rate, measured from T0+0.53 s, is 1719 cnts/sec. 
The total counts from this burst is 753 counts. 
URL_LC: http://www.hxmt.org/images/GRB/HEB190525031_lc.jpg 

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the 
regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (deposited energy). 
Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate 
the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside 
of the telescope. 

Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was 
funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and 
the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

GRB 190525A: AstroSat CZTI detection
Date

From
Prachee Ghumatkar at IUCAA/AstroSat <prachee@iucaa.in>
P. Ghumatkar, V. Sharma, T. Khanam, D. Bhattacharya and A. Vibhute (IUCAA), V. Bhalerao (IIT-B), A. R. Rao (TIFR) and S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration:

Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data showed the detection of a short GRB 190525A, which was also detected by Fermi GBM (GCN #24662), Global MASTER-Net (GCN #24663) and Insight-HXMT/HE (GCN #24665).

The source was clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range at 00:45:47 UTC.
The CZTI light curve shows a weak detection in the 40-200 keV energy range.

CZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb. 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.
