FROM: eliza.neights(a)gmail.com
E. Neights (GWU, NASA GSFC) reports on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger 772647532/250626680 at 16:18:47.72 UT
on 26 June 2025, tentatively classified as a GRB, is in fact not due
to a GRB. This trigger is likely due to local particles."

Chao WU (NAOC), Zhe Kang (CHO), Liping Xin(NAOC), Xuhui Han(NAOC), Pinpin Zhang (NAOC), Xiaomeng Lu (NAOC), Zhenwei Li (CHO), You Lv (CHO), Ruosong Zhang (NAOC), Yujie Xiao(NAOC), Yulei, Qiu(NAOC), Jing Wang (NAOC), Jinsong Deng(NAOC), Lei Huang(NAOC), Jianyan Wei (NAOC), report on behalf of the SVOM/C-GFT team:
We observed the field of GRB 250625A detected by Swift-BAT(Ferro et al., GCN 40825) and Fermi-GBM (GCN 40824) with LATIOS on SVOM/C-GFT. Observations started at 2025-06-25T16:06:18 UTC, ~82 seconds after the trigger.
A series of g, r, and i band images were obtained. The optical afterglow reported by Moskvitin et al. (GCN 40828), Xin et al. (GCN 40830), Zhu et al. (GCN 40834), Fortin et al. (GCN 40837), Adami et al. (GCN 40838) and Brosio et al. (GCN 40839) is not detected in the images after preliminary processing. The three sigma upper limits are:
| date-obs|mid-time | exposure time (s) | band | upper limit (AB) |
|--------------------|-------------------|------|-------------------|
|2025-06-25T16:08:18 | 170 | i | 20.00 |
|2025-06-25T16:27:53 | 180 | g | 20.59 |
|2025-06-25T16:31:28 | 180 | r | 20.52 |
The photometry was calibrated with nearby UCAC4 catalogue. This result is consistent with the report by Breeveld & Ferro (GCN 40840).
We thank the observation assistants Chunlei Guo and Shuai Liu at Jilin observatory for their excellent support.
The Chinese Ground Follow-up Telescope (C-GFT) for the SVOM mission is located at Jilin Station, Changchun Observatory, National Astronomical Observatories, CAS. It features two instruments: (1) CATCH at the Cassegrain focus with a 21 arcsec x 21 arcsec FOV for simultaneous g/r/i-band imaging, and (2) LATIOS, a 4k x 4k CMOS camera at the prime focus with a 1.28 deg x 1.28 deg FOV that images in g, r, and i bands via filter switching.

DATE: 25/06/26 14:18:47 GMT
FROM: Chenwei Wang at IHEP <cwwang(a)ihep.ac.cn>
Chen-Wei Wang, Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP) report on behalf of GECAM team:
GECAM-B was triggered on-ground by GRB 250625A at 2025-06-25T16:04:56 UTC (denoted as T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN#40824), Swift/BAT (David Palmer et al., GCN#40825), Fermi/LAT (Davide Depalo et al., GCN#40836). According to the GECAM-B light curves in about 40-6000 keV, this burst mainly consists of a single pulse with a duration (T90) of 6.0 +3.5/-5.5 s.
The GECAM-B light curve can be found here:
https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/gecamgrb250625A.png
The time-averaged spectrum from T0 to T0+4 s is best fitted by a power law function. The power law index is -1.52 +0.29/-0.20. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.39 +/-0.24)E-06 erg/cm^2.
Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) mission originally consists of two micro-satellites (GECAM-A and GECAM-B) launched in Dec. 2020. As the third member of GECAM constellation, GECAM-C was launched onboard SATech-01 experimental satellite in July 2022. GECAM mission is funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

FROM: Alice Breeveld at MSSL-UCL <a.breeveld(a)ucl.ac.uk>
A.A. Breeveld (UCL-MSSL) and M. Ferro (INAF-OAB) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 250625A 125 s after the BAT trigger (Ferro et al., GCN Circ. 40825).
The optical afterglow reported by Moskvitin et al. (GCN Circ. 40828), Xin et al. (GCN Cir. 40830), Zhu et al. (GCN Circ. 40834) Fortin et al. (GCN Circ. 40837), Adami et al. (GCN Circ. 40838) and Brosio et al. (GCN Circ. 40839) is not detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
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
white_FC 125 275 147 >20.9
u_FC 283 533 246 >20.5
white 125 1529 392 >21.7
v 613 1579 117 >19.2
b 539 1505 97 >20.4
u 283 1480 324 >20.6
w1 662 1628 117 >19.6
m2 637 1431 78 >20.1
w2 589 1383 97 >20.6
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.054 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).

We observed the field of GRB 250625A, which was detected by Swift-BA (Ferro et al., GCN 40825) and Fermi-GBM (GCN #40824) with the 30-cm automated telescope at ABObservatory (Rosarno, Italy) in clear filter. The observations began on 2025 june 25 at 19:34:37 UT, approximately 3.34 hours after the trigger. The observation consisted of 85 exposures of 90 seconds each, with good sky condictions. The mid-exposure time was 20:21:42 UT, and the final exposure ended at 21:09:59 UT.
From photometry, we detect the optical counterpart in our images at the at the following coordinates:
R.A (J2000.0) = 17:26:01.56
Dec. (J2000.0) = +22 16 12.3
The measured magnitude is:
V = 21.13 +/- 0.28 with SNR 5.4 (AB, calibrated against the Pan-STARRS catalogue on SIMBAD).

We observed the field of the GRB 250625A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 40824; Ferro
et al., GCN 40825; Beardmore et al., GCN 40827; Dichiara et al., GCN 40835; Di Lalla
et al., GCN 40836) using the T193cm telescope at Observatoire de Haute-Provence (France) equipped with the MISTRAL spectro-imager. We obtained 8 exposures (for a total of 81min) in the r-band starting at 20:34:39 UT on 2025-06-25 (4.50 hours after the trigger).
We also obtained 2 exposures (for a total of 30min) in the i-band starting at 22:28:55 UT on 2025-06-25 (6.40 hours after the trigger).
In the stacked images, we detected the optical counterpart reported/followed by Moskvitin et al., GCN 40828, Xin et al., GCN 40830; Malesani et al., GCN 40831; Lipunov et al., GCN 40826/40832; Zhu et al., GCN 40834, Fortin et al., GCN 40837; in the r-band image. The preliminary magnitude derived for that source is:
r = 22.95 +/- 0.23 mag (AB)
We do not detect the optical counterpart in the i-band image with a 3-sigma upper limit of:
i < 22.2
The photometric calibration was performed using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS catalog and the magnitudes are not corrected for Galactic extinction. We used the STDWeb/STDPipe tools (Karpov 2025).
We acknowledge the excellent support from the Observatoire de Haute-Provence and in particular Jean Balcaen and R.P. Nelson for the MISTRAL observations.
