TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40625 SUBJECT: GRB 250530A: SVOM/GRM analysis DATE: 25/06/04 03:52:55 GMT FROM: Chenwei Wang at IHEP <cwwang(a)ihep.ac.cn> SVOM/GRM team: Chen-Wei Wang, Chao Zheng, Shi-Jie Zheng, Yue Huang, Shao-Lin Xiong, Shuang-Nan Zhang (IHEP) SVOM/ECLAIRs team: M. G. Bernardini (INAF-OAB, LUPM) Report on behalf of the SVOM team: SVOM/GRM detected the burst GRB 250530A at 2025-05-30T06:31:54.99 UTC (T0), which is also detected by SVOM/ECLAIRs (Wang et al., GCN #40576). With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, we conducted the standard analysis pipeline of GRB 250530A. The GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a single pulse with a T90 of 15.0 +3.0/-4.0 s in the 15-5000 keV band, which is consistent with the result from VHF data. With the localization of ECLAIRs (RA=186.71, DEC=-2.5648), the time-averaged spectrum from T0 to T0+15 s is best fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.26 +0.18/-0.13 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 707 +1140/-360 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (2.8 +/-0.4)E-06 erg/cm^2. Thus GRB 250530A is consistent with Type I GRBs in the 'Amati' relation diagram although the duration is much longer than 2 seconds, as shown at: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/grb250530A_amati.png Further follow-up observations are encouraged. We note that the calibration of SVOM/GRM is undergoing thus these results are preliminary. Refined analysis will be reported later. 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. The SVOM/GRM point of contact for this burst is: Chen-Wei Wang (IHEP) (cwwang(a)ihep.ac.cn) View this GCN Circular online at https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/40625. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40624 SUBJECT: GRB 250601A: PRIME J band upper limit. DATE: 25/06/03 22:03:13 GMT FROM: N. Passaleva at Sapienza University of Rome <niccolo.passaleva(a)uniroma1.it> N. Passaleva (U Rome), O. Guiffreda (UMD), J. Durbak (UMD), M. Elkabir (U Rome), E. Troja (U Rome), A. S. Kutyrev (NASA/GSFC), S. B. Cenko (NASA/GSFC) Following the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) detection (GCN 40596), and the Swift/BAT-GUANO arcminute localization of same event, we observed the transient field in J filter with PRIME ~23.5 hours after the initial Fermi detection. Using nearby VISTA Hemispherical Survey (VHS) we do not detect any uncatalogued source down to J>20.3 AB (3-sigma) at the position of the candidates reported by Swift/XRT (Page et al. GCN 40604, Salvaggio et al., GCN 40606) and EP/FXT (Liu et al., GCN 40607). PRIME is a 1.8m telescope with 1.56 square degree FOV (0.5 arcsec/pixel) located in Sutherland, South Africa at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) (Kutyrev et al. 2023, Yama et al. 2023, Durbak et al. 2024). We thank the Osaka University observers at PRIME and the staff at SAAO for their support with these observations.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40621 SUBJECT: GRB 250601A: Fermi GBM Observation DATE: 25/06/03 15:42:16 GMT FROM: Vidushi Sharma at NASA GSFC/UMBC <vidushi.sharma(a)nasa.gov> V. Sharma (NASA-GSFC/UMBC) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team: "At 17:29:35 UT on 1 Jun 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250601A (trigger 770491780 / 250601729). which was also detected by Swift/BAT-GUANO (J. DeLaunay et al. 2025, GCN 40600) and Swift/XRT (K.L. Page et al. 2025, GCN 40604). The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift/BAT-GUANO position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 24 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of main emission episode with a duration (T90) of about 3 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.5 to T0+2.4 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.58 +/- 0.1 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 873 +/- 142 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (2.7 +/- 0.1)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+1 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 4.9 +/- 0.2 ph/s/cm^2. 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/40621. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…

Becerra at Tor Vergata, Roma <rosa.becerra(a)roma2.infn.it> Rosa L. Becerra (U Roma), Sahil Atri (U Roma), Alan M. Watson (UNAM), Camila Angulo Valdez (UNAM), Nat Butler (ASU), Simone Dichiara (Penn State University), Tsvetelina Dimitrova (ASU), Alexander Kutyrev (GSFC/UMD), William H. Lee (UNAM), Océlotl López (UNAM), Margarita Pereyra (UNAM) and Eleonora Troja (U Roma) report: We continued our follow-up campaign of GRB 250602A, detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 40602) with the DDOTI/OAN wide-field imager at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro Mártir (http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) on the night of 2025-06-03 UTC. DDOTI observed the Fermi/LAT error region (Holzmann Airasca et al., GCN Circ. 40611), from 03:51 UTC to 05:01 UTC (from T+24.7 h to T+ 25.9 h after the trigger), obtaining a total exposure time of 48 minutes. By comparing our observations with the USNO-B1 and Pan-STARRS PS1 DR2 catalogs, and performing image subtraction using a Pan-STARRS PS1 DR2 template, we detect no uncatalogued sources within the observed field down to a 10-sigma limiting AB magnitude of: w > 20.0 Unfortunately, the Fermi/LAT error region was not included in the field observed on the night of 2025-06-02 UTC (Atri et al., GCN Circ. 40610). This value is not corrected for the Galactic extinction. We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra of San Pedro Mártir.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40619 SUBJECT: GRB 250603A: Swift/UVOT Upper Limits DATE: 25/06/03 13:14:52 GMT FROM: Samantha Oates at University of Birmingham <samantha.oates(a)alumni.ucl.ac.uk> S. R. Oates (Lancaster U.) and T. M. Parsotan (GSFC) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 250603A 105 s after the BAT trigger (Parsotan et al., GCN Circ. 40613). No optical afterglow consistent with the enhanced XRT position (Beardmore et al., GCN Circ. 40616) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf.

03 Jun '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40618 SUBJECT: GRB 250603A: Swift-XRT refined Analysis DATE: 25/06/03 12:58:34 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9(a)star.le.ac.uk> S. Campana (INAF-OAB), A. Melandri (INAF-OAR), T. Sbarrato (INAF-OAB), D.N. Burrows (PSU), M.A. Williams (PSU), S. Dichiara (PSU), J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester), K.L. Page (U. Leicester) and P.A. Evans report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 7.3 ks of XRT data for GRB 250603A, from 92 s to 34.7 ks after the trigger. The data comprise 3 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode (taken while Swift was slewing), with the remainder in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=1.17 (+0.09, -0.08). A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.48 (+0.32, -0.30). The best-fitting absorption column is 1.6 (+0.5, -0.4) x 10^22 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 6.9 x 10^21 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 7.6 x 10^-11 (1.1 x 10^-10) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 1.6 (+0.5, -0.4) x 10^22 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 6.9 x 10^21 cm^-2 Excess significance: 3.3 sigma Photon index: 1.48 (+0.32, -0.30) If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 1.17, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 8.8 x 10^-4 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 6.7 x 10^-14 (9.8 x 10^-14) erg cm^-2 s^-1.
