Report on behalf of the SVOM team:
SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by a burst GRB 251007A (SVOM trigger reference: sb25100703) at 2025-10-07T19:37:53.000 UTC (T0), which is also detected by Swift/BAT (Ambrosi et al. 2025, GCN #42146), Glowbug (Cheung et al. 2025, GCN #42151) and CALET/GBM (A. Yoshida et al. 2025, GCN #42156).
With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a precursor followed by a main episode with multiple peaks a T90 of 58.0 +1.5/-5.5 s in the 15-5000 keV band.
The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here:
https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb251007A.png
In addition, the position of this burst, as determined by Swift/BAT (RA= 128.1775, DEC= 21.8138, GCN#42146), is located at about 49 degrees from the SVOM optical axis, which is outside the ECLAIRs field of view. Nevertheless, ECLAIRs detected the burst above 50 keV through its shield.
With this localization, the time-averaged spectrum from T0-50 to T0+30 s is best fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.27 +0.04/-0.04 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 761 +219/-152 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (3.97 +0.14/-0.15)E-05 erg/cm^2.

Chen-Wei Wang, Zheng-Hang Yu, Cheng-Kui Li, Shao-Lin Xiong, and Chao Zheng report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:
At 2025-10-07T19:37:51.750 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected the burst GRB 251007A, which is also detected by Swift/BAT (E. Ambrosi et al, GCN#42146), Glowbug (C.C. Cheun et al., GCN#42151), CALET/GBM (A. Yoshida et al., GCN#42156) and AstroSat (S. Salunke et al., GCN#42167).
The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of multi-pulses with a T90 of 57.4 +1.8/-16.2 s. The 1s peak rate, measured from T0+0.7 s, is 7246 cnts/sec. The total counts from this burst is 52938 counts.
The HXMT/HE light curve can be found here:
https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/hxmtgrb251007A.png
All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the regular mode with the energy range of about 60-900 keV (deposited energy). 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). More information about it could be found at: http://www.hxmt.org.

The burst signal was seen by only the SGM detector.
No real-time CGBM GCN notice was distributed about this trigger because
the real-time communication from the ISS was off (loss of signal).
The burst light curve shows a single pulse that starts
at T-0.22 sec and ends at T+0.04 sec.

and 0.11 +/- 0.05 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

SUBJECT: GRB 251007B - SVOM/ECLAIRs refined analysis
DATE: 25/10/10 08:31:06 GMT

Using the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground stations, we report further analysis of ECLAIRs observations of GRB 251007B (SVOM burst-id sb25100703).
The burst that triggered ECLAIRs onboard (Webb et al., GCN Circ. #42148) consists of a simple peak structure with a duration of T90 = 33.16 -6.76 / +3.58 s in the 4-120 keV energy band.
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-18 s to T0+22 s (T0 = 2025-10-07T19:43:23) in the energy range 5-70 keV is best fitted by a powerlaw model with a photon index of 1.58 +0.15/-0.14. With this model, the total 4-120 keV fluence is (9.0 +0.4/-0.2)e-7 erg/cm^2.
All the quoted errors are at the 68% confidence level.

Donghua ZHAO, Chao Wu, Wenjin Xie (NAOC), Hatsunegoto Goto(Kanazawa Univ./CEA),Florent Robinet (IJCLab), Nicolas Dagoneau, J. T. Palmerio (CEA) report on behalf of the SVOM mission team
At 2025-10-10T03:51:58 UTC (T0), SVOM/ECLAIRs triggered and located the source (SVOM burst-id sb25101004).
The following trigger information was received on the ground with low latency by the SVOM VHF Alert Network.
The source was only detected by the Image Trigger (IMT), which produced a sequence of 5 alerts. IMT provided the alert with the best signal-to-noise-ratio in the image (SNR) of 9.82 in the [5-20] keV energy band over a time window of 327.68 seconds starting at 2025-10-10T03:47:53.
The localization of the best alert is R.A., Dec.: 311.3214, -31.4119 degrees (J2000) with a 90% confidence level (C.L.) radius of 8.10 arcmin (including systematic error of 2 arcmin added in quadrature).
SVOM slewed to the source.
SVOM/MXT began observing the field at 2025-10-10T04:00:23 UTC, 505 seconds after T0. Using X band data we found a source located at R.A., Dec.: 311.2972, -31.3445 degrees:
R.A. (J2000) = 20h45m11.338s
Dec. (J2000) = -31d20m40.213s
with a 90% C.L. radius of 25.8 arcseconds (including a systematic error of 25 arcsec added in quadrature).
This location is 4.23 arcminutes from the ECLAIRs onboard position. No uncatalogued fading X-ray counterpart was detected.
There is a known source HD 197481 (Au Mic: a young red dwarf star ) which is 4.23 arcmin away from ECLAIRs position and is 26 arcsec away from MXT position. These results show that this trigger is probably caused by the stellar flare of HD 197481 (Au Mic).

The cadmium zinc TElluride Radiation Imager (TERI) gamma-ray telescope [1], operating on the International Space Station, reports the detection of GRB 250916A, which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ., 41839), Astrosat/CZTI (Arya et al., GCN Circ. 41843), Glowbug (Cheung et al., GCN Circ. 41855), CALET/GBM (Trig ID. 1442064382), and NuSTAR (41871).
Using 1 Hz binning, the peak count rate is roughly 23 excess counts per second (cps) at ~T0+259s (adopting T0 = 2025-09-16 13:29:21.1) over a baseline rate of 41-cps observed in nearby off-source intervals. We do not detect the initial faint burst at T0 detected by Fermi/GBM.
The analysis results presented here are preliminary and currently lack a detailed response function.
TERI is an Office of Naval Research funded technology demonstrator for large-volume pixelated CdZnTe detectors developed, built, and operated by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in conjunction with H3D, Inc. The pixelated CdZnTe detectors have an energy of 40 keV to 3 MeV per pixel. It was launched on 2025 April 21 aboard the Department of Defense Space Test Program’s STP-H10 to the ISS. On the ISS, it is located on the SOX external payload facility on the Columbus module.

FROM: Eva MP <eva.palafox(a)gmail.com>
E. Palafox (INAOE), M. Godwin (UAH) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 13:27:35.03 UT on 06 October 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 251006A (trigger 781450060/251006561),
which was also detected by Swift/BAT-GUANO (J. DeLaunay et al. 2025, GCN 42144)
and Glowbug (C. C. Cheung et al. 2025, GCN 42130).
The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift/BAT-GUANO position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 30 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of one short emission with total duration (T90)
of about 1.4 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-0.3 to T0+0.3 s is best fit by
a Comptonized function with Epeak of 490 +/- 170 and alpha of -0.9 +/- 0.2.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(4.8 +/- 0.6)E-07 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+0.0 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 7 +/- 1 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
