TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42851 SUBJECT: GRB 251126A: Enhanced Swift-XRT position DATE: 25/11/27 01:31:57 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9(a)star.le.ac.uk> M.R. Goad, J.P. Osborne, A.P. Beardmore and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team. Using 633 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 1 UVOT images for GRB 251126A, 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 = 99.94120, +54.98588 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 06h 39m 45.89s Dec (J2000): +54d 59' 09.2" with an uncertainty of 4.5 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.

[vsnet-grb-info 40919] GRB 251126A: Kilonova-Catcher optical afterglow detection
by GCN Circulars 26 Nov '25

26 Nov '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42850 SUBJECT: GRB 251126A: Kilonova-Catcher optical afterglow detection DATE: 25/11/26 21:24:46 GMT FROM: Damien Turpin at CEA-Saclay <dturpin-astro(a)hotmail.com> E. Broens (KNC), D. Turpin (CEA-Saclay/Irfu), C. Andrade(UMN), S. Antier (OCA/IJCLab), M. Coughlin (UMN), S. Karpov (FZU), P. Hello (IJCLAB), M. Pillas (IAP) on behalf of the GRANDMA/Kilonova-Catcher collaboration: We observed the field of GRB 251126A detected by Swift (Caputo et al., GCN 42843) with the GRANDMA citizen science project Kilonova-catcher (KNC). Our observations were performed with a private telescope T-BRO operated by E. Broens. Our observations started at TGRB+35 min and were taken unfiltered. In our stacked frames, subtracted from the PanSTARRS DR2 template image, we marginally detect the optical counterpart reported by GIT (Swain, GCN 42844). Despite the pretty low SNR (while the source is visible by eye in our image), we performed a forced photometry at the position we found to be at RA, Dec (J2000): 99.9440, +54.9864. We report our follow-up results in the table below: +---------------+-----------+---------+----------------+-------------+ | Tmid-TGRB (hr)| Exp (s) | Filter | Magnitude | Instrument | +===============+===========+=========+================+=============+ | 0.83 | 10 x 180s | r (AB) | 19.43 +/- 0.42 | T-BRO | +---------------+-----------+---------+----------------+-------------+ Compared to the magnitude reported by GIT (Swain, GCN 42844) the source has significantly faded even when considering our marginal detection which induced large error bars on the source photometry. Therefore, we confirm that this source is likely the optical afterglow of GRB 251126A. This is in agreement with the detections also reported by the Nanshan/HMT team (Fu et al., GCN 42848) and the Asiago team (Reguitti et al., GCN 42849). All the data have been reduced by a single data processing pipeline, STDPipe (Karpov et al., 2022). Images obtained with the Clear filters were calibrated using the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog using the PS1-r filter. We use the SkyPortal application (skyportal.io) to monitor our observational campaign (Coughlin et al. 2023). GRANDMA is a worldwide telescope network (grandma.ijclab.in2p3.fr) devoted to the observation of transients in the context of multi-messenger astrophysics (Antier et al. 2020 MNRAS 497, 5518). Kilonova-Catcher (KNC) is the citizen science program of GRANDMA (http://kilonovacatcher.in2p3.fr/) View this GCN Circular online at https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/42850. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…

26 Nov '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42849 SUBJECT: GRB 251126A: Asiago i-band detection DATE: 25/11/26 21:14:37 GMT FROM: Daniele Bjørn Malesani at Cosmic Dawn Center, Niels Bohr Institute <daniele.malesani(a)nbi.ku.dk> A. Reguitti (INAF/OAPD), L. Tomasella (INAF/OAPD), D. B. Malesani (DAWN/NIB and Radboud), report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the optical afterglow (Swain et al., GCN 42844; Fu et al., GCN 42848) of GRB 251126A (Caputo et al., GCN 42843) using the 67/92 Schmidt Telescope located at the Asiago observatory (Italy). Observations were carried out using the Sloan i filter. In a single exposure with start time 2025 Nov 26.8252 UT (37.8 min after the Swift/BAT trigger), the afterglow is detected with a magnitude i = 18.27 +- 0.15 (AB), calibrated against nearby stars fron the Pan-STARRS catalog, and not corrected for Galactic extinction. Compared to the earlier optical measurements (Swain et al., GCN 42844; Fu et al., GCN 42848), our images seem to indicate a red r-i color for the optical afterglow.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42848 SUBJECT: GRB 251126A: Nanshan/HMT optical afterglow detection DATE: 25/11/26 21:01:26 GMT FROM: syfu(a)nao.cas.cn S.Y. Fu (HUST), S.Q. Jiang, J. An, X. Liu, L.B. He, Z.P. Zhu, D. Xu (NAOC), X. Gao (Urumqi No.1 Senior High School), J.Z. Liu (XAO) report: We observed the field of GRB 251126A detected by Swift/BAT (Caputo et al., GCN 42843) using the HMT-0.5m telescope located at Nanshan, Xinjiang, China. Observations started at 19:11:52 UT on 2025-11-26, i.e., 76 seconds after the Swift/BAT trigger, and a series of unfiltered frames with different exposures were obtained. An uncatalogued and varying optical source is detected within the XRT error circle (Caputo et al., GCN 42843) at coordinates: R.A.(J2000) = 06:39:46.56 Dec.(J2000) = +54:59:12.27 with an uncertainty of ~0.5 arcsec. This position is consistent with the previous report by GIT (Swain, GCN 42844). The source has ~ 19.0 mag in the first image, calibrated with the nearby Pan-STARRS field and not corrected for Galactic extinction. The early light curve initially shows a slow rise, reaching a peak at ~150s, and then decays with power law index of ~0.5. Thus, we conclude that the source is the afterglow of GRB 251126A. Observations are still ongoing.

Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team: "At 16:30:58.99 UT on 21 November 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 251121A (trigger 785435463/251121688), which was also detected by Swift/BAT-GUANO (DeLaunay et al. 2025 GCN 42795). The Fermi GBM on-ground location (GCN 42790) is consistent with the Swift/BAT-GUANO position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 100 degrees. The GBM light curve single peak with a duration (T90) of about 0.3 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.2 to T0+0.3 s is best fit by a simple power law function with index -1.31 +/- 0.07. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (2.8 +/- 0.3)E-07 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured starting from T0-0.064 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 5 +/- 1 ph/s/cm^2.

Swain at IIT Bombay <vishwajeet.s(a)iitb.ac.in> We observed the field of GRB 251126A detected by Swift (Caputo et al., GCN 42843) with 0.7m GROWTH-India Telescope (GIT). We started observations at 19:14:32 UT, i.e., 3.93 mins after the Swift/BAT trigger. We obtained multiple frames in the r' band of 360 sec each. We detected an uncatalogued source at RA 06:39:46.42, Dec: +54:59:11.78 with an uncertainty of 0.4 arcsec. There is no minor planet present at this position. The photometric results follow as: | JD (mid) | tmid-t0 (mins) | Filter | Exposure (s) | Mag (AB) | | ------------- | ----------- | ------ | ------------ | -------------- | | 2461006.3017592593 | 3.93 | r' | 360 | 18.26 +- 0.06 | We encourage photometric for further confirmation and spectroscopic follow-up for redshift measurement. The magnitudes are calibrated against PanSTARRS DR1 (Chambers et al., 2016) and not corrected for Galactic extinction. The GROWTH India Telescope (GIT; Kumar et al. 2022) is a 70-cm telescope with a 0.7-degree field of view, set up by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) with funding from DST-SERB and IUSSTF. It is located at the Indian Astronomical Observatory (Hanle), operated by IIA. We acknowledge funding by the IITB alumni batch of 1994, which partially supports the operations of the telescope.
