Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 36909 SUBJECT: GRB 240720A: Swift detection of a burst DATE: 24/07/20 00:40:15 GMT FROM: David Palmer at LANL R. Gupta (NASA/GSFC), V. D'Elia (SSDC & INAF-OAR) and D. M. Palmer (LANL) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 00:24:51 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 240720A (trigger=1243868). Swift did not slew to the burst due to a pointing constraint. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 96.700, +30.342 which is RA(J2000) = 06h 26m 48s Dec(J2000) = +30d 20' 30" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a complex structure with a duration of about 3 sec. The peak count rate was ~5400 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. Due to a Sun observing constraint, Swift cannot slew to the BAT position. There will thus be no immediate XRT or UVOT data for this trigger. Burst Advocate for this burst is R. Gupta (rahulbhu.c157 AT gmail.com). Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information regarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after trying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see Swift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/)

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 36911 SUBJECT: GRB 240720A: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 24/07/20 17:11:10 GMT FROM: Gaurav Waratkar at IIT Bombay J. Joshi (IUCAA), A. Dasgupta (BITS Pilani, Hyderabad), G. Waratkar (IITB), A. Vibhute (IUCAA), V. Bhalerao (IITB), D. Bhattacharya (Ashoka University/IUCAA), A. R. Rao (IUCAA/TIFR), and S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration: Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data with the CIFT framework (Sharma et al., 2021, JApA, 42, 73) showed the detection of GRB 240720A which was also detected by Swift/BAT (Gupta et al., GCN Circ. 36909), Fermi/GBM (Fletcher et al., GCN Circ. 36910), and INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS (Trigger 10797). The source was detected in the CZT detectors in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2024-07-20 00:24:52.25 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 121 (+42, -36) counts/s above the background in the combined data of three quadrants (out of four), with a total of 212 (+72, -75) counts. The local mean background count rate was 226 (+5, -6) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 2.7 (+0.9, -1.1) s. The source was also detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2024-07-20 00:24:51.63 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 381 (+66, -71) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 598 (+150, -160) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1281 (+8, -8) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 2.2 (+0.3, -0.9) s from the cumulative Veto light curve. CZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, URSC, IUCAA, SAC, and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed, and facilitated the project. CZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at: http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb

Barthelmy (GSFC), R. Gupta (GSFC), H. A. Krimm (NSF), S. Laha (GSFC/UMBC), A. Y. Lien (U Tampa), C. B. Markwardt (GSFC), M. J. Moss (GSFC), D. M. Palmer (LANL), T. Parsotan (GSFC), D. Sadaula (GSFC/UMBC)(i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 240720A (trigger #1243868) (Gupta, et al., GCN Circ. 36909). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 96.728, 30.297 deg which is RA(J2000) = 06h 26m 54.6s Dec(J2000) = +30d 17' 48.3" with an uncertainty of 2.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 57%. The mask-weighted BAT light curve shows a short hard spike, followed by an extended softer emission with a duration of ~ 200 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 181.85 +- 73.84 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.12 to T+193.92 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.47 +- 0.22. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.8 +- 0.2 x 10^-06 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.44 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 2.5 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. The results of the batgrbproduct analysis are available at https://swift.gsfc.nasa.gov/results/batgrbcat/BAT_refined_circular/1243868
