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

At 21:10:28 UT on 19 Apr 2021, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 210419B (trigger 640559433.454802 / 210419882).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 307.1, Dec = -0.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 20h 28m, 0d 06'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.4 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 18.0 degrees.

Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data with the CIFT framework (Sharma et al, 2020, arxiv:2011.07067) showed detection of a long GRB 210419B, which was also detected by Fermi-GBM (GCN #29831).

It was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve showed a broad emission peak with the strongest peak at 2021-04-19 21:10:25.625 UT. The measured peak count rate is 1623 (+4 ,-4) cts/s above the background in the combined Veto data of four quadrants, with a total of 3054 (+641, -726) cts. The local mean background count rate was 181 (+89, --3) cts/s. We measure a T90 of 35 (+9, -12) s from the cumulative Veto light curve.

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
