TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40840 SUBJECT: GRB 250625A: Swift/UVOT Upper Limits DATE: 25/06/26 11:21:27 GMT 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).

26 Jun '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40836 SUBJECT: GRB 250625A: Fermi-LAT detection DATE: 25/06/26 08:10:58 GMT FROM: Davide Depalo at Politecnico and INFN Bari <davide.depalo(a)ba.infn.it> N. Di Lalla (Stanford Univ.), A. Holzmann Airasca (UniTrento and INFN Bari), R. Gupta (NASA GSFC), and D. Depalo (Politecnico and INFN Bari) report on behalf of the Fermi-LAT Collaboration: On June 25, 2025, Fermi-LAT detected high-energy emission from GRB 250625A, which was also detected by Fermi-GBM (trigger 772560301 / 250625670, GCN 40824), Swift-BAT/XRT (GCN 40825) and SVOM/VT (GCN 40830). The best LAT on-ground location is found to be: RA, Dec = 261.2, 22.4 (J2000) with an error radius of 0.6 deg (90 % containment, statistical error only). This was 32 deg from the LAT boresight at the time of the GBM trigger (T0 = 16:04:57.51 UT). The data from the Fermi-LAT shows a significant increase in the event rate that is spatially and temporally correlated with the GBM emission with high significance. The photon flux above 100 MeV in the time interval 0 - 100 s after the GBM trigger is (1.12 ± 0.48) E-5 ph/cm2/s. The estimated photon index above 100 MeV is -2.00 ± 0.38. The highest-energy photon is a 580 MeV event which is observed ~ 27 seconds after the GBM trigger. The Fermi-LAT point of contact for this burst is Davide Depalo (d.depalo2(a)phd.poliba.it) The Fermi-LAT is a pair conversion telescope designed to cover the energy band from 20 MeV to greater than 300 GeV. It is the product of an international collaboration between NASA and DOE in the U.S. and many scientific institutions across France, Italy, Japan and Sweden.

26 Jun '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40835 SUBJECT: GRB 250625A: Swift-XRT refined Analysis DATE: 25/06/26 05:57:53 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9(a)star.le.ac.uk> S. Dichiara (PSU), K.L. Page (U. Leicester), A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester), M. Capalbi (INAF-OAR), M. Perri (SSDC & INAF-OAR), V. D'Elia (SSDC & INAF-OAR), J.A. Kennea (PSU), D.N. Burrows (PSU) and P.A. Evans report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 6.0 ks of XRT data for GRB 250625A, from 123 s to 45.1 ks after the trigger. The data comprise 58 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode with the remainder in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The light curve can be modelled with a series of power-law decays. The initial decay index is alpha=0.8 (+1.1, -1.2). At T+174 s the decay steepens to an alpha of 6.3 (+/-1.7) before breaking again at T+238 s to a final decay with index alpha=1.19 (+0.17, -0.15). A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.68 (+0.32, -0.29). The best-fitting absorption column is 1.7 (+1.3, -1.0) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 5.5 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 4.3 x 10^-11 (5.2 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 1.7 (+1.3, -1.0) x 10^21 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 5.5 x 10^20 cm^-2 Excess significance: 1.9 sigma Photon index: 1.68 (+0.32, -0.29) If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 1.19, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 5.0 x 10^-4 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 2.2 x 10^-14 (2.6 x 10^-14) erg cm^-2 s^-1. The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis are available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/01327910. This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40834 SUBJECT: GRB 250625A: JinShan optical observations DATE: 25/06/26 04:25:58 GMT FROM: Zipei Zhu at NAOC <zpzhu(a)nao.cas.cn> Z.P. Zhu, S.Q. Jiang, X. Liu, J. An, D. Xu (NAOC), S.Y. Fu (HUST), J.Z. Liu (XAO) report on behalf of a large collaboration: We observed the field of GRB 250625A detected by the Fermi/GBM and Swift/BAT (the Fermi GBM Team, GCN 40824; Ferro et al., GCN 40825), using the 100cm-C telescope (100C) of the JinShan project, located at Altay, Xinjiang, China. Observations started at 16:11:04 UT on 2025-06-25, i.e., 6.1 min after the BAT trigger, and a series of frames were obtained in the Sloan r-, i-, z-bands. In the first round of r-band exposures, an uncatalogued optical source is marginally detected within the Swift/XRT enhanced error circle (Beardmore et al., GCN 40827), which is consistent with the reported optical counterpart by SAO RAS (Moskvitin et al., GCN 40828) and SVOM/VT (Xin et al., GCN 40830). The source is not detected in i-band and z-band (see also Malesani et al., GCN 40831), as well as in the second r-band exposures. Our preliminary results are summarized as follows: T-mid (hr) | Filter | Mag 0.387 | r | 22.5 +/- 0.3 1.237 | i | > 21.7 (5$\sigma$) 1.935 | z | > 20.5 (5$\sigma$) 2.761 | r | > 21.1 (5$\sigma$) calibrated with nearby Pan-STARRS stars without the Galactic extinction correction. We acknowledge the excellent support from T.Q. Chen and J.L. He for enabling these observations.

Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team: "At 16:04:57.51 UT on 25 June 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB250625A (trigger 772560302/250625670). Which was also detected by Swift BAT/XRT (Ferro et al. 2025, GCN 40825) and SVOM/VT (Xin et al. 2025, GCN 40830). The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 32 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of one strong peak and a few weaker peaks with a duration (T90) of about 5.4 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-2.0 to T0+5.0 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.27 +/- 0.05 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 1301.00 +/- 1190.00 The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.8 +/- 0.1)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0-0.13 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 3 +/- 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/40833. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…
