O. Mukherjee (USRA), C. Meegan (UAH), U. Pathak (IIT Bombay) and L. Scotton (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 07:08:21.91 UT on 11 October 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 251011B (trigger 781859306/251011297).
which was also detected by Swift BAT (A. D'Ai et al. 2025, GCN 42197),
and Swift XRT (P.A. Evans et al. 2025, GCN 42201).
The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift BAT position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 81.8 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of a single pulse with a duration (T90)
of about 35 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-8.0 to T0+26.5 s is best fit by
a Band function with Epeak = 36 +/- 5 keV,
alpha = 0.4 +/- 0.7, and beta = -2.2 +/- 0.1.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(3.3 +/- 0.3)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+0.58 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 3 +/- 0.2 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:

SUBJECT: GRB 251011B: Enhanced Swift-XRT position
DATE: 25/10/11 14:07:46 GMT
FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9(a)star.le.ac.uk>
P.A. Evans, M.R. Goad, J.P. Osborne and A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.
Using 243 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 1 UVOT
images for GRB 251011B, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray
position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources
to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 13.23469, -62.03340 which is equivalent
to:
RA (J2000): 00h 52m 56.33s
Dec (J2000): -62d 02' 00.2"
with an uncertainty of 2.4 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).
This position may be improved as more data are received. The latest
position can be viewed at https://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions. Position
enhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) and Evans
et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).
This circular was automatically generated, and is an official product of the
Swift-XRT team.

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 251010A which was also detected by Fermi GBM (GCN Circ. 42192).
The source was clearly detected in the CZT detectors in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve showed a broad peak of emission with the strongest peak at 2025-10-10 17:44:27.50 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 82 (+38, -8) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 628 (+155, -170) counts. The local mean background count rate was 292 (+3, -4) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 9.5 (+3.1, -2.3) s.
The source was also faintly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range.
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.

SVOM/GRM team: Chen-Wei Wang, Shi-Jie Zheng, Yue Huang, Shao-Lin Xiong, Shuang-Nan Zhang (IHEP)
SVOM/ECLAIRs team: Stéphane Schanne (CEA), Jean-Luc Atteia (IRAP)
Report on behalf of the SVOM team:
SVOM/GRM was triggered on-ground by a short burst GRB 251009B at 2025-10-09T01:51:15.350 UTC (T0), which is also detected by Insight-HXMT (Wang et al., GCN#42187), Glowbug (C.C. Cheung et al., GCN#42188).
With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a double spikes with a T90 of 1.2 +0.75/-0.45 s in the 15-5000 keV band, the signal mainly appears above 100 keV. No significant signal is detected by ECLAIRs, suggesting the burst is outside the ECLAIRs FoV.

SUBJECT: GRB 251011B: Swift detection of a burst
DATE: 25/10/11 07:29:21 GMT

N. P. M. Kuin (UCL-MSSL), A. Melandri (INAF-OAR),
K. L. Page (U Leicester), D. M. Palmer (LANL) and M. H. Siegel (PSU)
report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team:
At 07:08:22.33 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 251011B (trigger=1403191). Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
The BAT on-board calculated location is
RA, Dec 13.287, -62.032 which is
RA(J2000) = 00h 53m 09s
Dec(J2000) = -62d 01' 55"
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 150 seconds. The peak count rate was ~3000
counts/sec (15-350 keV) at ~0 sec after the trigger.
The XRT began observing the field at 07:09:58.8 UT, 96.5 seconds after
the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find a bright,
fading, uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 13.23523,
-62.03269 which is equivalent to:
RA(J2000) = 00h 52m 56.46s
Dec(J2000) = -62d 01' 57.7"
with an uncertainty of 3.8 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This
location is 87 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT
error circle. This position may be improved as more data are received;
the latest position is available at https://www.swift.ac.uk/sper.
A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event
data gives a column density in excess of the Galactic value (1.68 x
10^20 cm^-2, Willingale et al. 2013), with an excess column of 4.5
(+3.47/-2.92) x 10^21 cm^-2 (90% confidence).
The initial flux in the 2.5 s image was 1.95e-09 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.2-10
keV).
UVOT data are unavailable at this time.
Burst Advocate for this burst is A. D'Ai (antonino.dai AT inaf.it).
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/)
