GRB191105B: AstroSat CZTI detection

Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data showed the detection of a long GRB 191105B. The source was detected in the 40-200 keV energy range. The light curve showed multiple pulses of emission with the strongest peak at 2019-11-05 06:16:40 UT. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 497 cts/s above the background in the combined data of four quadrants, with a total of 3491 cts. The local mean background count rate was 755 cts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 19.0 s. It was also 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.
