R. Gaikwad, S. Gupta, V. Sharma, A. Vibhute and D. Bhattacharya (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 the long GRB 2002011A, which was also detected by Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization (GCN #27031) and BALROG (Biltzinger B. et al., GCN #27032).

The source was clearly detected in the 40-200 keV energy range. The light curve showed a single peak of emission peaking at 2020-02-11 07:26:31.01 UT. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 220 +/- 28.6 cts/s above the background in the combined data of four quadrants, with a total of 1006 +/- 46.0 cts. The local mean background count rate was 510 +/- 16.3 cts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 12.0 +/- 0.19 s.

It was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 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.

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

At 00:57:20 UT on 1 Feb 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 200201A (trigger 602211445.321872 / 200201040).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 287.7, Dec = -11.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 19h 10m, -11d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.7 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 54.0 degrees.
