S. Gupta, V. Sharma, A. Vibhute and D. Bhattacharya (IUCAA), V. Bhalerao (IIT-B), A. R. Rao (IUCAA/TIFR) and S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration:
Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data showed the detection of a long GRB 200506C, which was also detected by Fermi GBM (GCN #27692).
The source was clearly detected in the 40-200 keV energy range. The light curve shows multiple peaks of emission with the strongest peak at 2020-05-06 09:41:37.093 UT. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 307 +/- 25 cts/s above the background in the combined data of four quadrants, with a total of 9495 +/- 228 cts. The local mean background count rate was 547 +/- 1.0 cts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 205.8 +/- 0.04 s. In preliminary analysis, we find that 756 Compton events are associated with this event.
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 09:41:08 UT on 6 May 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 200506C (trigger 610450873.980628 / 200506404).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 190.9, Dec = 40.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 12h 43m, 40d 12'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.5 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 86.0 degrees.
