TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40111 SUBJECT: GRB 250407A: Swift ToO observations DATE: 25/04/07 20:57:53 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9(a)star.le.ac.uk> P. A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift team: Swift has initiated a ToO observation of the Fermi/GBM-detected event GRB 250407A. Automated analysis of the XRT data will be presented online at https://www.swift.ac.uk/ToO_GRBs/00021826 Any uncatalogued X-ray sources detected in this analysis will be reported on this website and via GCN COUNTERPART notices. These are not necessarily related to the Fermi/GBM event. Any X-ray source considered to be a probable afterglow candidate will be reported via a GCN Circular after manual consideration. Details of the XRT automated analysis methods are detailed in Evans et al. (2007, A&A, 469, 379; 2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177 and 2014, ApJS, 210, 8).

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40110 SUBJECT: GRB 250407A: SRG/ART-XC afterglow detection DATE: 25/04/07 19:48:18 GMT FROM: Sergey Molkov <serge.molkov(a)gmail.com> S. Molkov, A. Tkachenko, I. Mereminskiy, A. Semena, A. Lutovinov, I. Lapshov, V. Arefiev, A. Shtykovskiy and D. Karasev on behalf of the ART-XC team (IKI Moscow) report: During the ongoing all sky survey the Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC telescope passed through the localization area of GRB250407A (GCN 40104, GCN 40105) and detected a new X-ray source with coordinates: (RA,Dec)=(110.7564,36.7979) J2000; the 1 sigma statistical error radius is 20 arcsec. The source was in the FoV of the ART-XC telescope during ~20 seconds with a central time of 2025-04-07T17:08:20 UTC (on-board time), approximately 90 minutes after the burst had been detected by GBM (GCN 40104). The mean flux during the transition was about 1.4e-10 ergs/s/cm2 in the 4-12 keV energy band. We expect that it's an afterglow detection of GRB 250407A. Urgent Swift/XRT follow-up observation was requested to obtain precise localization.

by GCN Circulars 07 Apr '25

07 Apr '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40109 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA S250331o: Upper limits from Swift/BAT-GUANO DATE: 25/04/07 19:04:57 GMT FROM: Maia Williams at PSU <mjw6837(a)psu.edu> Maia Williams (PSU), Samuele Ronchini (PSU), Gayathri Raman (PSU), James DeLaunay (PSU), Tyler Parsotan (NASA GSFC), Jamie A. Kennea (PSU), Aaron Tohuvavohu (Caltech) report: Swift/BAT was observing 100.0% of the GW localization probability ([Bilby.multiorder.fits](https://gracedb.ligo.org/api/superevents/S250331o/fi…) at merger time. A fraction 96.02% of the GW localization posterior is contained inside the BAT coded FoV. The LVK notice, distributed in near real-time, triggered the Swift Mission Operations Center operated Gamma-ray Urgent Archiver for Novel Opportunities (GUANO; [Tohuvavohu et al. 2020, ApJ, 900, 1](https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/aba94f)) Upon trigger by this notice, GUANO sent a command to the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) to save 200 seconds of BAT event-mode data from [-50,+150] seconds around the time of the burst. All the requested event mode data was delivered to the ground. Using the NITRATES analysis ([DeLaunay + Tohuvavohu 2022, ApJ, 941, 169](https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ac9d38)) we searched for emission on 8 timescales from 0.128s to 16.384s in the interval [-20,+20] seconds around the merger time. We find no evidence for a signal, and derive the following upper limits. We quote the 5-sigma flux upper limits in the 15-350 keV band, weighted over the GW localization, for four spectral templates (soft, normal, and hard GRB-like templates described in [arXiv:1612.02395], and spectral shape from GRB170817A [arXiv:1710.05446]) and for four time bins. In units of 10^-7 erg/s/cm^2: |time_bin (s) |soft |normal|hard |GRB170817 |-|-|-|-|-| |0.256 |3.32 |3.49 |3.33 |3.61 |1.024 |1.69 |1.78 |1.70 |1.84 |4.096 |0.91 |0.95 |0.91 |0.99 |16.384 |0.55 |0.58 |0.56 |0.60 The upper limits as function of sky position are plotted here, alongside the GW localization: https://zenodo.org/records/15169889 The solid and dashed lines indicate the 90% and 50% GW contour levels, respectively. The corresponding fits file is also included. GUANO is a fully autonomous, extremely low latency, spacecraft commanding pipeline designed for targeted recovery of BAT event mode data around the times of compelling astrophysical events to enable more sensitive GRB searches.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40107 SUBJECT: Konus-Wind detection of GRB 250406B (short/hard) DATE: 25/04/07 17:14:04 GMT FROM: Dmitry Frederiks at Ioffe Institute <fred(a)mail.ioffe.ru> D. Frederiks, A.Lysenko, A. Ridnaia, D. Svinkin, A. Tsvetkova, M. Ulanov, and T. Cline, on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report: The bright, short-duration GRB 250406B (IPN localization: Kozyrev et al., GCN 40106). triggered Konus-Wind (KW) at T0=21401.479 s UT (05:56:41.479). The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked pulse, which starts at ~T0-0.032 s and has a duration of ~0.240 s. The emission is seen up to ~10 MeV. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB250406_T21401/ As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had the total fluence of 2.54(-0.51,+0.62)x10^-6 erg/cm^2 and a 16-ms peak energy flux, measured from T0-0.016 s, of 3.06(-0.61,+0.69)x10^-5 erg/cm^2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-integrated spectrum of the burst (measured from T0 to T0+0.256 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 15 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff (CPL) model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep) with alpha = -0.97(-0.10,+0.12) and Ep = 2118(-590,+818) keV (chi2 = 35/38 dof). Fitting this spectrum by a Band function yields the same values of alpha and Ep, and an upper limit on the high energy photon index beta of -2.15 (chi2 = 35/37 dof). All the quoted errors are estimated at the 68% confidence level. All the presented results are preliminary.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40085 SUBJECT: EP250404a: refined analysis of the EP-WXT and EP-FXT observations DATE: 25/04/06 09:45:07 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta(a)bao.ac.cn> Y.-H. I. Yin (NJU), J. W. Hu (NAO, CAS), Y. L. Hua (PMO, CAS), Q. C. Liu (THU), B. B. Zhang (BNU), Y. Liu (NAO, CAS) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: The X-ray transient EP250404a was detected by the Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) on board the Einstein Probe (EP) mission (Hu et al., GCN 40051), and followed up by several telescopes (Jiang et al, GCN 40052, Perez-Garcia et al, GCN 40053, Du et al, GCN 40058, Zhu et al, GCN 40061, Konno et al, GCN 40063, Odeh et al, GCN 40064, Lipunov et al, GCN 40066, He et al, GCN 40069, Pérez-Fournon et al, GCN 40071, Jelinek et al, GCN 40072, Rakotondrainibe et al, GCN 40073, Taguchi et al, GCN 40074, Brivio et al, GCN 40075, Ruocco et al, GCN 70076, Martin-Carrillo et al, GCN 40080, Pavoni et al, GCN 40083, Li et al, GCN 40084), with an optical counterpart detected at a redshift of 2.63 (Zhu et al, GCN 40061, Li et al, GCN 40084). Refined analysis of the WXT data shows that the event started at T0=2025-04-04T14:19:45 (UTC) and lasted for about 16 s before the observation was interrupted by the autonomous follow-up observation. The average WXT 0.5-4 keV spectrum can be fitted with an absorbed power law with a photon index of 0.41 (-0.28/+0.26). The absorption is fixed at the best-fit values from FXT spectral fitting with a Galactic hydrogen column density of 6.00 x 10^20 cm^-2 and an intrinsic hydrogen column density of 4.89 x 10^22 cm^-2. The derived average unabsorbed 0.5-4 keV flux is 5.9 (-1.6/+2.2) x 10^(-8) erg/s/cm^2. The data recovered from the slew process shows that the transient event lasted for about 300 seconds. The Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT) on board EP observed this source autonomously about 1 min after T0, starting at 2025-04-04T14:20:46 (UTC). Within the WXT error circle, on-ground analysis of the FXT data found an uncatalogued source at R.A. = 125.0601, DEC = 35.5284 (J2000) with an uncertainty of 10 arcsec (radius, 90% C.L. statistical and systematic), which is also consistent with the position of the optical counterpart. The average 0.5-10 keV spectrum can be fitted with an absorbed power law with a Galactic hydrogen column density of 6.00 x 10^20 cm^-2 and an intrinsic hydrogen column density of 4.89 (-0.45/+0.33) x 10^22 cm^-2. The photon index is 2.18 (-0.03/+0.03). The derived average unabsorbed 0.5-10 keV flux is 9.00 (-0.25/+0.19) x 10^(-10) erg/s/cm^2. The uncertainties are at the 90% confidence level for the above parameters. Launched on January 9, 2024, EP is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability (Yuan et al. 2022, Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics).
