TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43404 SUBJECT: GRB 260114A: SVOM/GRM observation of a short burst DATE: 26/01/14 17:52:21 GMT FROM: Chenwei Wang at IHEP <cwwang(a)ihep.ac.cn> SVOM/GRM team: Chen-Wei Wang, Wen-Jun Tan, Yang-Zhao Ren, Zheng-Hang Yu, Shi-Jie Zheng, Yue Huang, Shao-Lin Xiong, Shuang-Nan Zhang (IHEP) SVOM/ECLAIRs team: Maria-Grazia Bernardini (INAF-OAB, LUPM) Report on behalf of the SVOM team: SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by GRB 260114A (SVOM trigger reference: sb26011401) at 2026-01-14T11:40:26.400 (T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #43395), Swift/BAT (R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN #43396) and GECAM-B (Ren et al., GCN #43402). 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 0.38 +0.06/-0.04 s in the 15-5000 keV band. The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb260114A.png In addition, the position of this burst, as determined by Swift/BAT (RA = 74.602, Dec = -7.994, Error = 3.3 arcseconds, GCN #43396), is located at about 94 degrees from the SVOM optical axis, which is outside the ECLAIRs field of view. With this localization, the time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.12 to T0+0.3 s is best fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.43 +0.13/-0.11 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 954 +134/-120 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (6.72 +0.23/-0.22)E-06 erg/cm^2.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43400 SUBJECT: GRB 260114A: Fermi GBM observation DATE: 26/01/14 16:32:46 GMT FROM: Elisabetta Bissaldi at Politecnico and INFN Bari <elisabetta.bissaldi(a)ba.infn.it> E. Bissaldi (Politecnico and INFN Bari) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 11:40:26.31 UT on 14 January 2026, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260114A (trigger 790083631 / 260114486), which was also detected by the Swift/BAT (Eyles-Ferris et al. 2026, GCN 43396). The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 70 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of a bright emission episode with a duration (T90) of about 320 ms (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.064 s to T0+0.384 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.07 +/- 0.06 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 583 +/- 25 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (4.87 +/- 0.12)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured starting from T0+0.064 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 35.9 +/- 1.4 ph/s/cm^2. A Band function fits the spectrum equally well with Epeak = 575 +/- 29 keV, alpha = -0.06 +/- 0.06, and beta = -3.5 +/- 0.6.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43398 SUBJECT: GRB 260114A: GMG Optical Observation DATE: 26/01/14 13:39:46 GMT FROM: Rui-Zhi Li at Yunnan Observatories, CAS <liruizhi(a)ynao.ac.cn> R.-Z. Li, J. Mao, B.-T. Wang, F.-F. Song, Y. Wang, J.-G. Wang and B. Wang (YNAO, CAS) report: We observed the field of GRB 260114A (Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 43396; Fermi GBM team, GCN 43395; T0 at 2026-01-14T11:40:26) using the GMG-2.4m telescope at the Lijiang Observatory. The observation began at 2026-01-14T12:18:52, about 0.64 hours after the trigger. We detected an optical source within the Swift/XRT error circle (Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 43396). The preliminary analysis results for this source are presented below. +---------------+------------+----------+--------------+----------------+ | Tmid-T0 [h] | Exp. [s] | Filter | Mag | 5-sigma U.L. | +===============+============+==========+==============+================+ | 0.81 | 1200 | r | 21.19 ± 0.06 | 22.6 | +---------------+------------+----------+--------------+----------------+ We note that an extended galaxy (R.A., Dec. = 04:58:23.41, −08:00:49.6; r = 21.47 mag in the Pan-STARRS DR2 image) is located within the Swift/XRT error circle. Three objects within the Swift/XRT error circle have photometric redshifts of z ~ 0.5 in the DESI Legacy Surveys. Given the poor seeing conditions at the Lijiang Observatory, no additional candidate sources in our image were found within the Swift/XRT error circle. The given magnitudes are derived based on calibration against Pan-STARRS1 field stars, and are not corrected for the expected Galactic foreground extinction, corresponding to a reddening of E(B-V) = 0.0685 mag in the direction of the optical source (Schlafly & Finkbeiner 2011).

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43397 SUBJECT: Fermi-LAT Gamma-ray Observations of IceCube-260111A DATE: 26/01/14 12:42:22 GMT FROM: Leo Pfeiffer at University of Würzburg <pfeiffer.leo(a)gmail.com> L. Pfeiffer (Univ. of Wuerzburg), S. Buson (DESY, Univ. of Wuerzburg) and S. Garrappa (Weizmann Institute of Science) on behalf of the Fermi-LAT collaboration: We report an analysis of observations of the vicinity of the high-energy IC-260111A neutrino event (GCN 43374) with all-sky survey data from the Large Area Telescope (LAT), on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The IceCube event was detected on 26-01-11 at 20:10:33.91 UTC (T0) with J2000 position RA = 70.88 (+1.55, -1.40) deg, Decl. = 34.59 (+0.76, -0.64 ) deg 90% PSF containment. One cataloged >100 MeV gamma-ray source is located within the 90% IC-260111A localization error, at a distance of roughly 0.3 deg (Fourth Fermi-LAT catalog, 4FGL-DR4, The Fermi-LAT collaboration 2023, arXiv:2307.12546). This is the object 4FGL J0444.6+3425 associated with the blazar of uncertain type B2 0441+34. Based on a preliminary analysis of the LAT data over the timescale of one day and one month prior T0, this object is not significantly detected at gamma-rays. We searched for the existence of intermediate (days to years) timescale emission from a new gamma-ray transient source. Preliminary analysis indicates no significant (>5sigma) new excess emission (> 100 MeV) within the IC-260111A 90% confidence localization. Assuming a power-law spectrum (photon index = 2.0 fixed) for a point source at the IceCube best-fit position, the >100 MeV flux upper limit (95% confidence) is 3.0e-10 ph cm^-2 s^-1 for ~17-years (2008-08-04 / T0), <9.3e-09 (1.6 e-07) ph cm^-2 s^-1 for a 1-month (1-day) integration time before T0. Since Fermi normally operates in an all-sky scanning mode, regular monitoring of this source will continue. For this analysis, the Fermi-LAT contact person is L. Pfeiffer (leonard.pfeiffer at uni-wuerzburg.de). 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.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43396 SUBJECT: GRB 260114A: Swift detection of a short burst DATE: 26/01/14 11:55:28 GMT FROM: Rob Eyles-Ferris at U of Leicester <raje1(a)leicester.ac.uk> R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris (U Leicester), J. A. Kennea (PSU), H. A. Krimm (NSF), N. P. M. Kuin (UCL-MSSL), K. L. Page (U Leicester) and B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 11:40:26 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 260114A (trigger=1440319). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 74.602, -7.994 which is RA(J2000) = 04h 58m 25s Dec(J2000) = -07d 59' 37" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a single-peaked structure with a duration of about 0.5 sec. The peak count rate was ~16000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. The XRT began observing the field at 11:42:28.4 UT, 122.2 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find an uncatalogued X-ray source with an enhanced position: RA, Dec 74.59830, -8.01433 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 04h 58m 23.59s Dec(J2000) = -08d 00' 51.6" with an uncertainty of 3.3 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 74 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT error circle. This position may be improved as more data are received; the latest position is available at https://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. We cannot determine whether the source is fading at the present time. A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event data gives a column density consistent with the Galactic value of 5.72 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter starting 126 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate has been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 19.6 mag. The 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No correction has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.080. Burst Advocate for this burst is R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris (raje1 AT leicester.ac.uk). Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information regarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after trying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see Swift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/) View this GCN Circular online at https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/43396. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…

The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 19.6 mag. The 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No correction has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.080. Burst Advocate for this burst is R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris (raje1 AT leicester.ac.uk). Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information regarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after trying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see Swift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/) View this GCN Circular online at https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/43396. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…
