TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43151 SUBJECT: IceCube-251218A - IceCube observation of a high-energy neutrino candidate track-like event DATE: 25/12/18 21:55:53 GMT FROM: A. Zegarelli at Ruhr University Bochum <azegarelli(a)icecube.wisc.edu> The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports: On 25-12-18 at 20:21:00.63 UT IceCube detected a track-like event with a moderate probability of being of astrophysical origin. The event was selected by the ICECUBE_Astrotrack_BRONZE alert stream. The average astrophysical neutrino purity for Bronze alerts is 30%. This alert has an estimated false alarm rate of 0.8234 events per year due to atmospheric backgrounds. The IceCube detector was in a normal operating state at the time of detection. After the initial automated alert (https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/notices_amon_g_b/141741_9008919.amon) more sophisticated reconstruction algorithms have been applied offline, with the direction refined to: Date: 25-12-18 Time: 20:21:00.63 UT RA: 353.60 (+0.90/-0.74 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000 Dec: 44.15 (+0.46/-0.45 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000 We encourage follow-up by ground and space-based instruments to help identify a possible astrophysical source for the candidate neutrino. There is one Fermi 4FGL-DR4 source in the 90% uncertainty region, i.e., the unassociated gamma-ray source 4FGL J2331.6+4430 at RA: 552.90 deg, Dec: 44.51 deg J2000 (0.62 deg away from the best-fit event position). The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43149 SUBJECT: GRB 251214B: VIRT Optical Upper Limit DATE: 25/12/18 16:23:01 GMT FROM: Priya Gokuldass at ERAU <gokuldap(a)my.erau.edu> P. Gokuldass (ERAU), F. George (UVI), N. Orange (OrangeWave Innovative Science, LLC), B. Gendre (UVI), D. Morris (NASA), and T. Lombardi (Eckerd College) report: We observed the field of long GRB 251214B detected by Fermi (Fermi team, GCN 43088), Swift (Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 43089; Kuin and Eyles-Ferris, GCN 43105; Burrows et al., GCN 43112), and GECAM-B (Luo et al., GCN 43113) with the 0.5m Virgin Island Robotic Telescope (VIRT) at the University of the Virgin Islands' Etelman Observatory on 2025-12-14 starting at 23:12:24.856 UTC (T-mid ~ T0 + ~15h). We performed a series of exposures in an R filter with a total exposure of 1210s. The weather conditions were partly cloudy during the hours of observation with an average airmass of 2.06. We do not detect any source at the enhanced XRT position reported (Evans et al., GCN 43098). This non-detection is consistent with reported detections (Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 43089; Kang et al., GCN 43093; Gress et al., GCN 43095; Fu et al., GCN 43097; Gupta et al., GCN 43100; Watson et al., GCN 43103; Kuin and Eyles-Ferris, GCN 43105; Pérez-Fournon et al., GCN 43123, de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 43131) and upper limits (Volnova et al., GCN 43124; Pankov et al., GCN 43132; Volnova et al., GCN 43141; Lin et al., GCN 43134). We report the following 3-sigma upper limit: T_mid ||Exposure ||Filter ||Limit T+ ~15h || 1210s || R || > 20.4 The limit is estimated from comparison to nearby Gaia D3 synphot stars and is not corrected for Galactic extinction. We acknowledge the use of STDWeb interface to verify our result. We acknowledge financial support in part from NASA EPSCoR 80NNSC22M0063, NSF AST 2319415, and NASA EPSCoR 80NSSC24M0112.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43146 SUBJECT: GRB 251217A: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization DATE: 25/12/17 04:46:13 GMT FROM: Fermi GBM Team at MSFC/Fermi-GBM <do_not_reply(a)GIOC.nsstc.nasa.gov> The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB At 04:35:34 UT on 17 Dec 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 251217A (trigger 787638939.89203 / 251217191). The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 325.8, Dec = 20.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 21h 43m, 20d 53'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.6 degrees. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 29.0 degrees.

[vsnet-grb-info 41227] GRB 251215A: Swift/UVOT Upper LImits

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43145 SUBJECT: GRB 251215A: Swift/UVOT Upper LImits DATE: 25/12/16 18:52:06 GMT FROM: S. R. Oates at Lancaster University <samantha.oates(a)ucl.ac.uk> S. R. Oates (Lancaster U.) reports on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 251215A 32 ks after the Fermi/GBM trigger (Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 43104). No optical afterglow is found in the initial UVOT exposures. The UVOT exposures include the positions of XRT sources 2, 5, 6 and 8 (Osborne et al., GCN 43137). The positions of XRT sources 2, 6, and 8 are consistent with known USNO-B1 sources. No optical source is found consistent with XRT source 5. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are: Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag/3sigUL white 31995 49531 4297 >22.4 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the significant reddening of E(B-V) = 0.87 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).

[vsnet-grb-info 41226] GRB 251215A: Fermi GBM Observation
by GCN Circulars 16 Dec '25

16 Dec '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43144 SUBJECT: GRB 251215A: Fermi GBM Observation DATE: 25/12/16 18:31:35 GMT FROM: Peter Veres at University of Alabama in Huntsville <veresp(a)gmail.com> P. Veres (UAH) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team: "At 04:21:21.57 UT on 15 December 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 251215A (trigger 787465286/251215181), which was also detected by Swift-BAT-GUANO (Ronchini et al. 2025, GCN 43114), Swift-XRT (Osborne et al. 2025, GCN 43137) and Glowbug (Cheung et al. 2025, GCN 43133). The real-time Fermi GBM location (GCN 43104) is consistent with the Swift-BAT position. The GBM light curve consists of multiple overlapping pulses with a duration (T90) of about 143 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-37 to T0+162 s is best fit by a Band function with Epeak = 35 +/- 7 keV, alpha = -1 +/- 0.3, and beta = -1.97 +/- 0.03. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (2.05 +/- 0.06)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+64 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 5.7 +/- 0.2 ph/s/cm^2. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/fermi/fermigbrst.html For Fermi GBM data and info, please visit the official Fermi GBM Support Page: https://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/gbm/" View this GCN Circular online at https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/43144. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…
