[vsnet-grb-info 39893] GRB 250911A: Insight-HXMT detection
by GCN Circulars 13 Sep '25

13 Sep '25
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41827 SUBJECT: GRB 250911A: Insight-HXMT detection DATE: 25/09/13 18:17:46 GMT FROM: Chenwei Wang at IHEP <cwwang(a)ihep.ac.cn> Chen-Wei Wang, Jin-Peng Zhang, Shao-Lin Xiong, and Chao Zheng report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team: At 2025-09-11T01:29:28.250 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected the burst GRB 250911A, which is also detected by Swift/BAT (Palmer et al., GCN 41781) and GECAM-B (Zhang et al., GCN#41813. The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of multi-pulses with a T90 of 24.5 +2.5/-1.5 s. The 1s peak rate, measured from T0+5.250 s, is 1857 cnts/sec. The total counts from this burst is 11720 counts. The HXMT/HE light curve can be found here: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/hxmtgrb250911A.png All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the regular mode with the energy range of about 60-900 keV (deposited energy). Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside of the telescope. Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). More information about it could be found at: http://www.hxmt.org.

[vsnet-grb-info 39892] GRB 250912A: SVOM/GRM analysis suggests a possible short GRB with extended emission
by GCN Circulars 13 Sep '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41826 SUBJECT: GRB 250912A: SVOM/GRM analysis suggests a possible short GRB with extended emission DATE: 25/09/13 18:17:13 GMT FROM: Chenwei Wang at IHEP <cwwang(a)ihep.ac.cn> SVOM/GRM team: Chen-Wei Wang, Shi-Jie Zheng, Yue Huang, Shao-Lin Xiong, Shuang-Nan Zhang (IHEP) SVOM/ECLAIRs team: Hui Yang, Jean-Luc Atteia (IRAP), Stéphane Schanne (CEA) Report on behalf of the SVOM team: SVOM/GRM detected the burst GRB 250612A at 2025-09-12T21:06:23.700 UTC (T0), which is also detected by SVOM/ECLAIRs (Jean-Grégoire Ducoin et al., GCN #41820) and Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #41819) With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, we conducted the standard analysis pipeline of GRB 250612A. The GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a hard pulse followed by extended emission with a T90 of 13.0 +6.5/-2.0 s in the 15-5000 keV band, and there is a weak precursor-like signal at about T0-10 s, which is also clearly detected by ECLAIRs. The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb250912A.png With the localization of ECLAIRs (RA= 14.953, DEC= 11.137), the time-averaged spectrum from T0-1 to T0+16 s can be fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff adequately. The power law index is -1.15 +0.19/- 0.15 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 520 +692/-203 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (3.01 +0.40/- 0.44)E-06 erg/cm^2. Thus GRB 250912A is consistent with Type I GRBs in the 'Amati' relation diagram, as shown at: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb250912A_amati.png Based on the location of this GRB in 'Amati' relation diagram, as well as the shape of the light curve, a possible merger origin is suggested. 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/41826. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…

Xin (NAOC), B. Cordier (CEA/Irfu), J.G. Ducoin (CPPM), D. Dornic (CPPM) report on behalf of the SVOM mission team: We observed the field of the GRB 250912A detected by Fermi/GBM(Fermi Team, GCN 41819) and SVOM/ECLAIRs (Ducoin et al., GCN 41820) with the LCO 1m telescope at South African Astronomical Observatory equipped with the Sinistro instrument. Our observation started on 2025-09-12 at 23:43:52 UT (~2.62 hr after the trigger) and we obtained 3x200 s exposures using the SDSS r filter. In the stacked image, we did not detect any new optical source at the SVOM/MXT position (Ducoin et al., GCN 41820). We derived the following upper limit r > 21.4 mag (3-sigma) calibrated using nearby stars from the UCAC4 catalog and not corrected for Galactic extinction.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41820 SUBJECT: GRB 250912A: SVOM detection of a burst DATE: 25/09/12 21:58:10 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup(a)bao.ac.cn> Jean-Grégoire Ducoin (CPPM), Damien Dornic (CPPM), Hui Yang (IRAP), Chenwei Wang (IHEP) , Hatsune Goto (Kanazawa Univ./CEA), report on behalf of the SVOM mission team: At 2025-09-12T21:06:24 UTC (T0), SVOM/ECLAIRs triggered and located the gamma-ray burst GRB 250912A (SVOM burst-id sb25091206). This transient was also detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN Circular 41819). 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 14 alerts. IMT provided the alert with the best signal-to-noise-ratio in the image (SNR) of 11.88 in the [8-120] keV energy band over a time window of 20.48 seconds starting at 2025-09-12T21:06:19. The localization of the best alert is R.A., Dec. 14.9546, 11.1084 degrees (J2000) with a 90% confidence level (C.L.) radius of 6.78 arcmin (including systematic error of 2 arcmin added in quadrature). This burst also triggered SVOM/GRM at 2025-09-12T21:06:23 on a timescale of 0.10 seconds with an SNR of 6.20. SVOM slewed to the burst. SVOM/MXT began observing the field at 2025-09-12T21:09:18 UTC, 174 seconds after T0. Using onboard processed data we found an uncatalogued X-ray source located at R.A., Dec. 14.953, 11.137 degrees: R.A. (J2000) = 0h59m48.72s Dec. (J2000) = 11d08m12.88s with a 90% C.L. radius of 143 arcseconds. This location is 1.7 arcminutes from the ECLAIRs onboard position. This position may be improved as more data is received. VT began observing the field after the slew. The analysis of the data will be published in a future circular. 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. SVOM/ECLAIRs was developed jointly by CNES, CEA-IRFU, CNRS-IRAP, CNRS-APC. SVOM/GRM was developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41818 SUBJECT: IceCube-Cascade 250911A: Upper limits from a search for additional neutrino events in IceCube DATE: 25/09/12 20:17:38 GMT FROM: Alicia Mand at IceCube/UW-Madison <aemand(a)wisc.edu> The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports: IceCube has performed a search [1] for additional track-like muon neutrino events arriving from the direction of IceCube-Cascade 250911A (https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/notices_amon_icecube_cascade/141344_29341777.amon) in a time range of 1000 seconds centered on the alert event time (2025-09-11 04:20:17.140 UTC to 2025-09-11 04:36:57.140 UTC) during which IceCube was collecting good quality data. Excluding the event that prompted the alert, two track-like events are found within the 90% containment region of IceCube-Cascade 250911A. We find that these additional 2 events are well described by atmospheric background expectations, with a p-value of 0.01. IceCube’s sensitivity to neutrino point sources with an E^-2.5 spectrum, expressed as E^2 dN/dE evaluated at 1 TeV, ranges from 1.3e-01 to 6.1e+00 GeV cm^-2 within the 90% spatial containment region of IceCube-Cascade 250911A in a 1000 second time window. 90% of events IceCube would detect from a source at this declination with an E^-2.5 spectrum have energies in the approximate energy range between 2e+02 GeV and 3e+06 GeV. A subsequent search was performed including 2 days of data centered on the alert event time (2025-09-10 04:28:37.140 UTC to 2025-09-12 04:28:37.140 UTC). In this case, we report a p-value of 0.23, consistent with no significant excess of track events. IceCube’s sensitivity to neutrino point sources with an E^-2.5 spectrum, expressed as E^2 dN/dE evaluated at 1 TeV, ranges from 1.5e-01 to 6.2e+00 GeV cm^-2 within the 90% spatial containment of IceCube-Cascade 250911A in a 2 day time window. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica.
