TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40103 SUBJECT: IceCube-250406A - IceCube observation of a high-energy neutrino candidate track-like event DATE: 25/04/07 08:06:32 GMT FROM: A. Zegarelli at Ruhr University Bochum <azegarelli(a)icecube.wisc.edu> The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports: On 2025-04-06 at 22:50:35.34 UT IceCube detected a track-like event with a high probability of being of astrophysical origin. The event was selected by the ICECUBE_Astrotrack_GOLD alert stream. The average astrophysical neutrino purity for bronze alerts is 50%. This alert has an estimated false alarm rate of 0.9358 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/140752_31006975.amon), more sophisticated reconstruction algorithms have been applied offline, with the direction refined to: Date: 2025-04-06 Time: 22:50:35.34 UT RA: 81.47 (+0.54, -0.53 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000 Dec: 16.96 (+0.42, -0.50 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000 No gamma-ray sources from 4FGL or 3FHL catalogs are in the 90% uncertainty region. We encourage further follow-up by ground and space-based instruments to help identify a possible astrophysical source for the candidate neutrino. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40102 SUBJECT: IceCube 250406.951: COLIBRÍ/DDRAGO Optical Upper Limit DATE: 25/04/07 06:43:32 GMT FROM: Rosa L. Becerra at Tor Vergata, Roma <rosa.becerra(a)roma2.infn.it> Rosa L.

COLIBRÍ tiled the IceCube error region from 03:09 UTC to 04:18 UTC (from T+4.3 h to T+5.5 h after the trigger) with a total exposure of 47 minutes. The data were coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and analysed in STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025). Comparing our observations (and after performing image subtraction) against Pan-STARRS DR2, we detect no evident uncatalogued sources within the observed field to a 5-sigma limiting AB magnitude of: i > 22.2 This non-detection is consistent with the reported by Becerra et al., GCN 40101. This value is not corrected for the Galactic extinction. We warmly thank the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams and the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40100 SUBJECT: GRB 250406A: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 25/04/07 04:27:16 GMT FROM: Gaurav Waratkar at IIT Bombay <gauravwaratkar(a)iitb.ac.in> M. Tembhurnikar (IUCAA), G. Waratkar (IITB), A. Vibhute (IUCAA), V. Bhalerao (IITB), D. 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 a long duration GRB 250406A which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 40094). The source was clearly detected in the CZT detectors in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2025-04-06 14:38:19.0 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 126 (+25, -17) counts/s above the background in the combined data of three quadrants (out of four), with a total of 1195 (+285, -117) counts. The local mean background count rate was 226 (+1, -6) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 17 (+4, -2) s. The source was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2025-04-06 14:38:17.9 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 329 (+70, -44) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 2697 (+493, -543) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1320 (+7, -8) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 16 (+5, -5) s from the cumulative Veto light curve. 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.

The optical counterpart was observed at the coordinates: **RA = 08h20m14.54s, Dec = +35°31′42.2″.** Stacked imaging of the field has revealed a clear optical transient. The photometric measurements derived from the stacked images are summarized below. In our analysis, the photometry in the Johnson band was calibrated from APASS data converted using the Lupton (2005) equations, while the SDSS band data were calibrated against the SDSS star catalog. The observation time reported corresponds to the median of the individual exposure times. | Median Time (UT) | Telescope | Exposure (s) | Filter | Magnitude | Err | | ----------------------- | --------- | ------------ | ------ | ---------------- | ---- | | 2025-04-04 15:42:35.500 | UCAS-70 | 6×180 | B | 18.73 | 0.24 | | 2025-04-04 15:45:44.199 | UCAS-70 | 6×180 | V | 17.89 | 0.12 | | 2025-04-04 15:48:52.780 | UCAS-70 | 6×180 | R | 17.18 | 0.14 | | 2025-04-04 15:52:01.952 | UCAS-70 | 6×180 | I | 16.76 | 0.13 | | 2025-04-04 16:04:43.721 | XL-C14 | 11×120 | g | <22.10( 3-sigma limit) | | | 2025-04-04 16:17:19.682 | XL-C14 | 13×120 | r | 17.59 | 0.19 | | 2025-04-04 16:15:12.716 | XL-C14 | 13×120 | i | 17.15 | 0.20 | | 2025-04-04 15:58:22.729 | XL-C14 | 8×120 | z | <17.41( 3-sigma limit) | | This measurement has not been corrected for galaxy extinction.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40095 SUBJECT: GRB 250404A: Calapai Observatory, Massa S. Giorgio (Messina), optical observations. DATE: 25/04/06 17:44:24 GMT FROM: Giovanni Calapai at Calapai Astronomical Observatory, Massa S. Giorgio, Messina, Italy <giovannicalapai(a)tiscali.it> Giovanni Calapai at Calapai Astronomical Observatory, Massa S. Giorgio, (Messina) Italy Member of: GRB/UAI Gamma Ray Burst Section of Unione Astrofili Italiani. Report: We observed the field of GRB 250404A detected by Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM team, GCN 40050) with the 11 inches Schmidt-Cassegrain (Celestron 11) telescope F/D=6,3. The observations were started at 2025-04-04 22:45 UT (approximately 8.42 hours after burst) stacking a set of unfiltered CCD image. The observations were made with modest visibility conditions: passing clouds and Moon (illumin. 48%, dist. 19°) The OT was detected at the following position (+/- 0.3 arcsec): RA (J2000.0) 08h 20m 14.59s Decl. (J2000.0) +35° 31' 41.5" Photometry was obtained using nearby PanSTARRS stars as follows: Observation Mid-Time T-T0 (hr) Exposure Filter Mag. Err. 2025-04-04 23:27:00 UT 9.12 82x60s CR 20.16 +/-0.2 Magnitude was calibrated with the nearby PanSTARRS stars converted using Lupton (2005) equations. No correction for galactic dust extinction was applied. Our observations are consistent with other already reported Jiang et al. (GCN 40052), Perez-Garcia et al. (GCN 40053), Du et al.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40094 SUBJECT: GRB 250406A: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization DATE: 25/04/06 14:48:42 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 14:38:11 UT on 6 Apr 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250406A (trigger 765643096.56557 / 250406610). The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 6.2, Dec = -63.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 00h 24m, -63d 12'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.0 degrees. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 29.0 degrees.
