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

At 14:03:46 UT on 28 May 2021, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 210528A (trigger 643903431.162588 / 210528586).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 134.1, Dec = -16.3 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 08h 56m, -16d 18'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.9 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 55.0 degrees.

F. Kunzweiler, B. Biltzinger, F. Berlato, J. Burgess & J. Greiner (all MPE Garching) report:

The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
643903431 at 14:03:46 on 28 May 2021 were automatically fitted for spectrum
and sky location with BALROG (Burgess et al. 2018, MNRAS 476, 1427;
Berlato et al. 2019, ApJ 873, 60).

The best-fit position (1 sigma statistical errors) is:
RA(2000.0) = 137.1+/-2.2 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = -14.0+/-2.4 deg
We estimate an additional systematic error of 2 deg.

(IUCAA), V. Bhalerao (IITB), D. Bhattacharya (IUCAA), A. R. Rao

CZTI collaboration:

Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data with the CIFT framework (Sharma et al,
2020, arxiv:2011.07067) showed detection of a short GRB 210528A, which
was also detected by Fermi-GBM (GCN #30090).

The source was clearly detected in the 20 - 200 keV energy range. The
light curve showed multiple peaks of emission with the strongest peak at
2021-05-28 14:03:45.5 UT. The measured peak count rate associated with
the burst is 682 (+186, -164) cts/s above the background in the combined
data of all four quadrants, with a total of 307 (+69, -65) cts. The
local mean background count rate was 547 (+9, -11) cts/s. Using
cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 0.89 (+0.2, -0.3) 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 [1]. 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.

GRB 210528A: Fermi GBM detection

From
Peter Veres at UAH <veresp@gmail.com>
P. Veres and C. Meegan (both UAH)
report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:

"At 14:03:46.16 UT on 28 May 2021, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
(GBM) triggered and located GRB 210528A (trigger 643903431 /
210528586).

The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger data, is
reported in GCN #30090.

The GBM light curve consists of a strong pulse with some overlapping
structure and a duration (T90) of about 1 s (50-300 keV). The
time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.3 s to T0+1.3 s is
best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy
cutoff.  The power law index is -0.47 +/- 0.06 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 210 +/- 9 keV.

The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (3.90 +/-
0.12)E-6 erg/cm^2. The 64ms peak photon flux measured starting from T0
+ 0.256 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 31.7 +/- 2.0 ph/s/cm^2.

The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/fermi/fermigbrst.html
