TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40653 SUBJECT: GRB 250527C: CrAO Optical Upper Limit DATE: 25/06/09 10:19:33 GMT FROM: Nicolai Pankov at HSE, IKI RAS <colinsergesen(a)gmail.com> N. Pankov (HSE, IKI), S. Nazarov (CrAO), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of IKI-GRB-FuN: We observed the field of GRB 250527C detected by Fermi/GBM (Trigger 770047117) and further localized by Swift/BAT-GUANO (Delaunay et. al, GCN 40563). The field has also been observed by Swift/XRT (Evans, GCN 40564), and Swift/UVOT (Klingler, GCN 40574). Our observations were carried out using the Sintez-Newton 0.36-meter telescope installed at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (CrAO). The series of images has taken in the R-filter. We do not detect candidate transients in comparison with USNO-B1.0, and PS1 catalogs in the stacked image of 22*120 sec. Particularly, we were searching for candidates inside localization circles of X-Ray sources provided in (Evans, GCN 40564). The preliminary upper limit is given below: Date UTstart T-T0 Exposure Filter OT Err UL (n*T) (3-sigma) 2025-05-28 23:46:57 1.42390 22*120 R n/d n/d 19.1 The photometry was calibrated using nearby USNO-B1.0 stars (R2 magnitudes) and has not been corrected for the Galactic extinction.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40651 SUBJECT: GRB 250607A: SVOM/GRM observation of a long burst DATE: 25/06/09 03:13:00 GMT FROM: wenlongzhang2018(a)163.com SVOM/GRM team: Wen-Long Zhang, Wen-Jun Tan, Chen-Wei Wang, Shi-Jie Zheng, Yue Huang, Shao-Lin Xiong, Shuang-Nan Zhang (IHEP) SVOM/ECLAIRs team: Jean-Luc Atteia (IRAP) report on behalf of the SVOM team: SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by a long burst GRB 250607A (SVOM trigger reference: sb25060704) at 2025-06-07T14:00:56.000 UTC (T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM ( Fermi GBM team., GCN #40648). With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a single pulse with a T90 of 12.60 +7.20/-5.40 s in the 15-5000 keV band. The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb250607A.png In addition, the position of this burst, as determined by Fermi/GBM (RA = 243.84, Dec = -24.71 , GCN #40648), is located at about 53 degrees from the SVOM optical axis, and outside the ECLAIRs field of view. With this localization, the time-averaged spectrum from T0-5s to T0+5s is best fitted by a power law function. The power law index is -1.82+/-0.08. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.37 +0.15/-0.15)E-06 erg/cm^2. The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. GRM is developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.
