[vsnet-grb-info 41489] GRB 260114A: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization
by GCN Circulars 14 Jan '26

14 Jan '26
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43395 SUBJECT: GRB 260114A: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization DATE: 26/01/14 11:51:03 GMT FROM: Fermi GBM Team at MSFC/Fermi-GBM <do_not_reply(a)GIOC.nsstc.nasa.gov> The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB At 11:40:26 UT on 14 Jan 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260114A (trigger 790083631.309942 / 260114486). The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 74.1, Dec = -15.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 04h 56m, -15d 11'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.7 degrees. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 63.0 degrees.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43394 SUBJECT: EP-WXT trigger 01709251266: SVOM/C-GFT confirmation of a stellar flare DATE: 26/01/14 00:30:43 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup(a)bao.ac.cn> Z. Kang (CHO), C. Wu, L.P. Xin, X.H. Han, P.P. Zhang, X.M. Lu (NAOC), Z.W. Li, Y. Lv (CHO), R.S. Zhang, Y.J. Xiao, Y.L. Qiu, J. Wang, J.S. Deng, L. Huang, J.Y. Wei (NAOC) report on behalf of the SVOM/C-GFT team: We observed the field of trigger 01709251266 detected by EP/WXT (Wang et al., GCN 43383) with LATIOS on SVOM/C-GFT. Observations started at 2026-01-12T18:15:35 UTC, ~5.63 min after the trigger. A sequence of g-, r-, and i-band images was obtained over ~1.5 hr. Photometry of the suggested flare star LSPM J0924+304 shows a decline from ~13.3 to ~14.0 mag in g-band over ~90 min. The fading was initially fast, then slowed, and was flatter in the r and i bands. This confirms the EP X-ray trigger is associated with a stellar flare. We thank the observation assistants Yin-Huai Hao and Chun-Lei Guo at Jilin observatory for their excellent support. The Chinese Ground Follow-up Telescope (C-GFT) for the SVOM mission is located at Jilin Station, Changchun Observatory, National Astronomical Observatories, CAS. It features two instruments: (1) CATCH at the Cassegrain focus with a 21 arcsec x 21 arcsec FOV for simultaneous g/r/i-band imaging, and (2) LATIOS, a 4k x 4k CMOS camera at the prime focus with a 1.28 deg x 1.28 deg FOV that images in g, r, and i bands via filter switching.

[vsnet-grb-info 41487] IceCube-260111A: Upper limits from a search for additional neutrino events in IceCube
by GCN Circulars 13 Jan '26

13 Jan '26
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43393 SUBJECT: IceCube-260111A: Upper limits from a search for additional neutrino events in IceCube DATE: 26/01/13 20:32:34 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-260111A (https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/43374) in a time range of 1000 seconds centered on the alert event time (2026-01-11 20:02:13.888 UTC to 2026-01-11 20:18:53.888 UTC) during which IceCube was collecting good quality data. Excluding the event that prompted the alert, zero track-like events are found within the 90% containment region of IceCube-260111A. We report a p-value of 1.00 in this time window. IceCube’s sensitivity to neutrino point sources with an E^-2.5 spectrum, expressed as E^2 dN/dE evaluated at 1 TeV, is 1.4e-01 GeV cm^-2 within the 90% spatial containment region of IceCube-260111A 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 6e+04 GeV. A subsequent search was performed including 2 days of data centered on the alert event time (2026-01-10 20:10:33.888 UTC to 2026-01-12 20:10:33.888 UTC). In this case, we report a p-value of 1.00, 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 1.6e-01 to 1.7e-01 GeV cm^-2 within the 90% spatial containment region of IceCube-260111A in a 2 day time window. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica. The IceCube realtime alert point of contact can be reached at roc(a)icecube.wisc.edu. [1] IceCube Collaboration, R.

by GCN Circulars 13 Jan '26

13 Jan '26
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43391 SUBJECT: EP260110a: NOT and GTC Optical and Near-Infrared Observations DATE: 26/01/13 16:52:27 GMT FROM: Gregory Corcoran at University College Dublin <gregory.corcoran(a)ucdconnect.ie> G. Corcoran (UCD), P. G. Jonker (Radboud), J. Sanchez-Sierras (Radboud), A. Martin-Carrillo (UCD), J. A. Quirola-Vasquez (Radboud), A. van Hoof (Radboud), D. Mata Sanchez (IAC), D. Slumstrup (GTC), N. Castro Rodríguez (GTC), V. Vuolteenaho (NOT and Oulu Univ.) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the field of the fast X-ray transient EP260110a (Zhang et al., GCNs 43363, 43367) using the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) equipped with the ALFOSC camera as well as in the near infrared with the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) equipped with the EMIR instrument. Our observations consisted of two epochs of 3 x 300 s in SDSS-r band and 5 x 200 s in SDSS-z, taken from the NOT, and a single epoch in H with a total exposure time of 1280 s taken from the GTC. Performing image subtraction with PyZOGY on our r-band stacked images and visually comparing the other bands to a stack of archival r-band CFHT images we do not detect any new sources within the EP/FXT uncertainty region in any of our images. We obtain the following upper limits: | Mid time (UT) | Time since trigger (hr) | Band | 3 sigma UL (AB) | | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- | | 2026-01-11 01:46:32 | 13.80 | r | 23.5 | | 2026-01-11 02:04:27 | 14.10 | z | 22.3 | | 2026-01-11 06:35:44 | 19.02 | H | 23.3 | | 2026-01-12 03:03:04 | 39.08 | r | 24.2 | | 2026-01-12 03:20:59 | 39.38 | z | 22.7 | The r and z band upper limits were calibrated using nearby stars from the Pan-STARRS catalog while the 2MASS catalog was used for the H-band observations and the photometry is not corrected for Galactic extinction. Our upper limits are consistent with Perez-Garcia et al. (GCN 43364), Kang et al. (GCN 43365), Antier et al. (GCN 43366), Zheng et al. (GCN 43368), Lipunov et al. (GCN 43372), Li et al. (GCN 43375), and Zhu et al. (GCN 43390). We note the presence of two faint sources within the EP/FXT uncertainty region in both our r- and H-band images, which are also seen in the archival CFHT imagery. While no residual is visible at their position in the r-band subtraction, due to the lack of sufficiently deep H-band templates we cannot test for NIR variability at this time.

13 Jan '26
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43390 SUBJECT: EP260110a: TRT optical upper limits DATE: 26/01/13 16:28:35 GMT FROM: Zipei Zhu at NAOC <zpzhu(a)nao.cas.cn> Z.P. Zhu (NAOC), S. Tinyanont, K. Noysena, K. Chanchaiworawit, S. Tinyanont (NARIT), J. An, X. Liu, S.Q. Jiang, L.B. He, N.C. Sun, W.X. Li, D. Xu (NAOC), S.Y. Fu (HUST) report on behalf of a large collaboration: We observed the field of EP260110a detected by the Einstein Probe (EP) (Zhang et al., GCN 43367), using the 0.7-m telescope of the Thai Robotic Telescope network (TRT), located at Sierra Remote Observatories in California. We obtained several 360 s frames in the R filter. Observations started at 07:38:55 UTC on 2026-01-11, i.e., 0.44 day after the EP/WXT trigger time. No new source is detected within or at the border of the EP/FXT error region (Zhang et al., GCN 43363), being consistent with the non-detection reported at other telescopes (Perez-Garcia et al., GCN 43364; Kang et al., GCN 43365; Antier et al., GCN 43366; Zheng et al., GCN 43368; Lipunov et al., GCN 43372; Li et al., GCN 43375). From the stacked images we obtain the following 5-sigma upper limits in Vega magnitude: | Mid-time(d) | filter | upper limit | site | | ------------- | -------- | ------------- | ------ | | 0.46 | R | > 19.6 | SRO | | 1.45 | R | > 20.9 | SRO | | 2.44 | R | > 21.0 | SRO | calibrated using nearby stars from the Pan-STARRS DR1 catalog and are not corrected for Galactic extinction.

[vsnet-grb-info 41483] Konus-Wind detection of GRB 260101A
by GCN Circulars 13 Jan '26

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43389 SUBJECT: Konus-Wind detection of GRB 260101A DATE: 26/01/13 15:31:48 GMT FROM: Dmitry Svinkin at Ioffe Institute <svinkin(a)mail.ioffe.ru> D. Svinkin, D. Frederiks, A. Lysenko, A. Ridnaia, A. Tsvetkova, M. Ulanov, and T. Cline on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report: The long-duration GRB 260101A (Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN 43284; Hristov and Meegan, GCN 43297; Swift-BAT detection: Cenko et al., GCN 43285; Markwardt et al., GCN 43354; SVOM-GRM detection: Yu et al., GCN 43292; GECAM-B detection: Wang et al., GCN 43294) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=3419.619 s UT (00:56:59.619). The burst light curve shows a multipeaked structure which starts at ~T0-26 s and has a total duration of ~30 s. The emission is seen up to ~1 MeV. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB260101_T03419/ As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had the total fluence of 7.47(-0.65,+0.77)x10^-6 erg/cm2, and the 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.210 s, of 1.95(-0.42,+0.44)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). Since the main fraction of burst counts was detected before the trigger, the spectral analysis was performed using the KW 3-channel light curve data. Modelling the KW 3-channel time-integrated spectrum (measured from T0-26.365 s to T0+3.168 s) by a power law with exponential cutoff (CPL) model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep), yields alpha = -1.50(-0.11,+0.13) and Ep = 176(-30,+45) keV. Modelling the KW 3-channel spectrum near the maximum count rate (measured from T0-5.757 s to T0+3.168 s) by the CPL model yields alpha = -1.44(-0.15,+0.20) and Ep = 129(-18,+25) keV. Assuming the redshift z=2.623 (de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 43287) and a standard cosmology with H_0 = 67.3 km/s/Mpc, Omega_M = 0.315, and Omega_Lambda = 0.685 (Planck Collaboration, 2014), we estimate the following rest-frame parameters: the isotropic energy release E_iso is 1.21(-0.11,+0.12)x10^53 erg, the peak luminosity L_iso is 1.15(-0.25,+0.26)x10^53 erg/s, the rest-frame peak energy of the time-averaged spectrum Ep,i,z is 637(-109,+162) keV and the spectrum near the maximum count rate Ep,p,z is 467(-65,+90) keV. With the obtained estimates, GRB 260101A is inside 68% prediction bands for both the 'Amati' and the 'Yonetoku' relations derived for the sample of >300 long KW GRBs with known redshifts (Tsvetkova et al., 2017; Tsvetkova et al., 2021), see http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB260101_T03419/GRB260101A_rest_frame.pdf All the quoted errors are at the 68% confidence level.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43388 SUBJECT: GRB 260111A: Swift-XRT observations DATE: 26/01/13 11:01:35 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9(a)star.le.ac.uk> S. Lanava (PSU), J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester), K.L. Page (U. Leicester), A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester), M. Perri (SSDC & INAF-OAR), V. D'Elia (SSDC & INAF-OAR), B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB), S. Dichiara (PSU), J.A. Kennea (PSU) and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the Swift/BAT-GUANO (Ronchini et al., GCN 43377) and Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN 43370; Palafox et al., GCN 43384) detected burst GRB 260111A, collecting 2.8 ks of Photon Counting (PC) mode data between T0+94.3 ks and T0+104.8 ks. One uncatalogued X-ray source has been detected within the estimated 3-sigma Swift/BAT error region (493 arcsec), it is below the RASS limit and shows no definitive signs of fading. A source consistent with the position of XRT source 2 has been reported in the optical with COLIBRÍ, suggesting it could be the GRB afterglow (Ducoin et al., GCN 43386). Details of this source are given below: Source 2: RA (J2000.0): 229.5858 = 15h 18m 20.60s Dec (J2000.0): +51.9736 = +51d 58' 24.8" Error: 6.3 arcsec (radius, 90% conf.) Count-rate: (5.6 [+2.4, -1.9])e-3 ct s^-1 Distance: 27 arcsec from Swift/BAT position. Flux: (1.56 [+0.66, -0.53])e-13 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (observed, 0.3-10 keV) A catalogued source was also detected within the estimated 3-sigma Swift/BAT error region (493 arcsec).

[vsnet-grb-info 41481] Swift Trigger 1439093: is probably not GRB 260113A
by GCN Circulars 13 Jan '26

13 Jan '26
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43387 SUBJECT: Swift Trigger 1439093: is probably not GRB 260113A DATE: 26/01/13 10:47:55 GMT FROM: K.L. Page at U Leicester <klp5(a)leicester.ac.uk> R. Gupta (NASA GSFC), A. Y. Lien (U Tampa), K. L. Page (U Leicester), D. M. Palmer (LANL), C. Salvaggio (INAF-OAB) and B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 10:14:06 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located an event (trigger=1439093). Swift slewed immediately to the location. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 357.372, +9.041 which is RA(J2000) = 23h 49m 29s Dec(J2000) = +09d 02' 29" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). We only have limited BAT light curve information at this moment, current light curve showed some potential pulse-like structure in the low energy band (15-25 keV), but nothing significant in other energy bands. Therefore, the pulse-like structure may be due to noisy detectors. Further ground analysis is required to determine the nature of this trigger. The XRT began observing the field at 10:16:22.6 UT, 136.1 seconds after the BAT trigger. No source was detected in 1.5 ks of promptly downlinked data. UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter starting 139 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 25% of the BAT 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 BAT 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 0.098. Due to the marginal detection of this event in the BAT Image (6.5 sigma) and the lack of the an XRT counterpart detection, we believe that this trigger is most likely to be a statistical fluctuation in the instrument and not a true astrophysical event. Determination of the reality of this event will require the full downlinked dataset. We retain the name GRB 260113A for this event to avoid confusion. Burst Advocate for this burst is R. Gupta (rahulbhu.c157 AT gmail.com) 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/43387. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43386 SUBJECT: GRB 260111A: COLIBRÍ optical afterglow candidate DATE: 26/01/13 07:27:49 GMT FROM: J.-G. Ducoin at CPPM <ducoin(a)cppm.in2p3.fr> Jean-Grégoire Ducoin (CPPM), Diego López-Cámara (UNAM), Edilberto Aguilar-Ruiz (UNAM), Francesco Magnani (CPPM), Alan M. Watson (UNAM), Stéphane Basa (UAR Pytheas), William H. Lee (UNAM), Jean-Luc Atteia (IRAP), Camila Angulo (UNAM), Dalya Akl (NYUAD), Sarah Antier (IJCLAB), Rosa L. Becerra (UNAM), Nathaniel R. Butler (ASU), Damien Dornic (CPPM), Francis Fortin (IRAP), Leonardo García García (UNAM), Ramandeep Gill (UNAM), Noémie Globus (UNAM), Asuka Kuwata (UNAM), Nikos Mandarakas (LAM), Kin Ocelotl López (UNAM), Enrique Moreno Méndez (UNAM), Margarita Pereyra (UNAM), Ny Avo Rakotondrainibe (LAM), Fredd Sánchez Álvarez (UNAM), Benjamin Schneider (LAM) and Antonio de Ugarte Postigo (LAM): We imaged the field of the Swift/Fermi GRB 260111A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 43370, GCN 43384; Ronchini et al., GCN 43377) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2026-01-12 10:06 to 13:26 UTC (from 17.55 to 20.88 hours after the trigger) and obtained 145 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the r and z filters. The data were reduced, coadded, calibrated, and analyzed with the COLIBRÍ pipeline, and were also analyzed with STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025). The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction. We detect an uncatalogued source revealed by image subtraction using Legacy Survey as template, consistent with the BAT/GUANO 5 arcmin error circle (Ronchini et al., GCN Circ. 43377) and the XRT source #2 (Evans et al., GCN 43379) at : RA(J2000) = 15:18:20.830 = 229.58679 degrees Dec(J2000) = +51:58:25.82 = 51.97384 degrees with an uncertainty of 0.5 arcsec. The preliminary magnitude derived for that source is: r = 22.87 +/- 0.07 z = 22.33 +/- 0.14 We cannot confirm that the source is fading, however its proximity to XRT #2 suggests it could be the afterglow of GRB 260111A. This detection is very significantly fainter than the upper limit measured with GOTO (Gompertz et al., GCN 43381), and thus compatible with it. We encourage further follow-up of this candidate. We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir and the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams. COLIBRÍ is an astronomical observatory developed and operated jointly by France (AMU, CNES and CNRS) and Mexico (UNAM and SECIHTI). It is located at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico.
