TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40030 SUBJECT: GRB 250402A: Fermi GBM Observation DATE: 25/04/03 17:29:10 GMT FROM: Matt Godwin <msg0028(a)uah.edu> Jacob Smith (UAH), Utkarsh Pathak(IIT Bombay), and Matt Godwin (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team: "At 23:08:09.09 UT on 02 April 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250402A (trigger 765328094/250402964). which was also detected by SVOM (Chen et al. 2025, GCN 40014). The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the SVOM position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 57 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of a double peak with a duration (T90) of about 44 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-5.1 to T0+45.1 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.1 +/- 0.1 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 115 +/- 10 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (4.1 +/- 0.2)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+23 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 2.4 +/- 0.2 ph/s/cm^2. A Band function fits the spectrum equally well with Epeak= 60 +/- 10 keV, alpha = -0.4 +/- 0.3 and beta = -2.1 +/- 0.1. 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/40030. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40027 SUBJECT: GRB 250402A: Swift-XRT observations DATE: 25/04/03 16:01:19 GMT FROM: Simone Dichiara at Pennsylvania State University <sbd5667(a)psu.edu> S. Dichiara (PSU), J.A. Kennea (PSU), B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB), K.L. Page and P.A. Evans (U.Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 2.4 ks of XRT data for the SVOM/ECLAIRs-detected burst GRB 250402A (SVOM trigger sb25040203; Chen et al., GCN circ. 40014), from T0+49.2 ks to T0+51.5 ks after the SVOM/ECLAIRs trigger. The data are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. We find an uncatalogued X-ray source consistent with the X-ray counterpart identified by SVOM/MXT (Maggi et al., GCN circ. 40019) and the optical counterpart (Xin et al., GCN 40015, Pérez-Fournon et al., GCN 40020, Schneider et al., GCN 40022, Magnani et al., GCN 40023). We note that the source is fading compared to the flux reported by previous MXT observations (Maggi et al., GCN circ. 40019). Details of this source are given below: Source 1: RA (J2000.0): 213.4089 = 14:13:38.13 Dec (J2000.0): -5.9302 = -05:55:48.5 Error: 3.4 arcsec (radius, 90% conf. [Enhanced position]) Count-rate:0.045 (±0.012) ct s-1 Flux: 1.9 (±0.5) ×10-12 erg cm-2 s-1 (observed, 0.3-10 keV) This XRT position is 1.07 arcsec away from the optical position. The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis of the XRT observations, including a position-specific upper limit calculator, are available at https://www.swift.ac.uk/SVOM/SVOM_FIELD00009/.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40026 SUBJECT: GRB 250403A : SVOM detection of a burst DATE: 25/04/03 15:58:17 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup(a)bao.ac.cn> Y. Julakanti, R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris (U. Leicester), S. Schanne, D. Turpin (CEA), M. Brunet (IRAP) report: SVOM/ECLAIRs triggered on the gamma-ray burst GRB 250403A (SVOM burst-id sb25040305) starting at 2025-04-03T15:15:20 UTC (Tb), also detected by Fermi (GCN 40025). The following trigger information was received on the ground with low latency by the SVOM VHF Alert Network. The burst was detected both by the Count-Rate Trigger (CRT) and the Image Trigger (IMT) which produced a sequence of 19 alerts. CRT provided the alert with the best signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) of 42.11 in the 8-120 keV energy band over a time window of 20.40 seconds starting at Tb. The downloaded light curve shows a single broad structure of duration of about 20 seconds. The localization of the best alert is R.A., Dec 194.5927, -24.3762 degrees: RA (J2000) = 12h58m22.24s Dec (J2000) = -24d22m34.36s with a 90% C.L. radius of 2.71 arcmin (including systematic error of 2 arcmin added in quadrature). The burst was also detected by GRM as SVOM burst-id sb25040306. No immediate slew was performed on this burst. A SVOM ToO has been programmed for follow-up. The Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA), French Space Agency (CNES), and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. The Burst Advocate (BA) on shift for this burst is Y. Julakanti (skyj1(a)leicester.ac.uk). Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information regarding the SVOM follow-up of this burst.
