GRB 210124B: Insight-HXMT/HE detection
Abstract
At 2021-01-24T13:23:48.400 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected GRB 210124B (trigger ID: HEB210124558) in a routine search of the data. The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of multiple pulses with a duration (T90) of 0.062 s measured from T0+0.01 s. The 1-ms peak rate, measured from T0+0.035 s, is 34250 cnts/sec. The total counts from this burst is 988 counts.

Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside of the telescope. Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
