We observed from 2026-01-30 02:15 to 03:38 UTC (from 43.5 to 44.8 hours after the trigger) and obtained 60 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the r and z filters. The data were reduced, coadded, calibrated, and analyzed with the COLIBRÍ ASU pipeline. The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction. WIthin the ECLAIRs 12 arcmin error circle (Brunet et al., GCN Circ. 43561), and in comparison to the corresponding PS1 images, we do not detect any new sources to preliminary 5-sigma limiting magnitudes of r > 22.3 z > 21.5 We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir and the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams.

Barthelmy (GSFC), R. Gupta (GSFC), H. A. Krimm (NSF), S. Laha (GSFC/UMBC), A. Y. Lien (U Tampa), C. B. Markwardt (GSFC), M. J. Moss (GSFC), D. M. Palmer (LANL), T. Parsotan (GSFC), D. Sadaula (GSFC/UMBC), T. Sakamoto (AGU) (i.e. the Swift-BAT team) Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 260127A (trigger #1444088) (Kilingler et al., GCN Circ. 43529). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 231.879, 6.758 deg which is RA(J2000) = 15h 27m 30.9s Dec(J2000) = +06d 45' 28.4" with an uncertainty of 1.7 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 40%. The classic pulse has a single peak that started around T+20 sec and has a structure before it at ~T+5 sec. The duration of the burst is ~100 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 104.06 +- 19.41 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum using multiple GTIs from T-2.68 to T+7.62, T+9.00 to T+84.43 sec, and T+86.00 to T+117.04 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.76 +- 0.15. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.3 +- 0.2 x 10^-06 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+33.36 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 2.1 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43561 SUBJECT: GRB 260128B: SVOM detection of a burst through offline search DATE: 26/01/29 19:08:31 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup(a)bao.ac.cn> M. Brunet (IRAP), S. Le Stum, A. Coleiro (APC), O. Godet (IRAP),report on behalf of the SVOM team: The SVOM/ECLAIRs telescope detected a transient source, labelled GRB 260128B, starting at 2026-01-28T06:48:34.72 UTC (T0), through an offline search with the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station. The burst was detected within several energy ranges and timescales. The best detection is obtained by the Image Trigger with a signal-to-noise ratio of 7.5 within 4-20 keV over a time window of 10.24 seconds starting at T0-10.24s. The lightcurve shows a single peaked structure lasting around 4s. The localization of the source is RA, Dec = 27.734, -25.867 degrees: RA (J2000) = 01h50m56.16s Dec (J2000) = -25d52m01.20s with a 90% C.L. radius of 12.0 arcmin (including systematic error of 6 arcmin added in quadrature). We note that no bright catalogued X-ray sources are found in the error box. The Space 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. ECLAIRs was developed jointly by APC, CEA, CNES, and IRAP.

Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the Fermi/GBM-detected burst GRB 260127B (The Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 43533), collecting 985 s of Photon Counting (PC) mode data between T0+70.4 ks and T0+71.4 ks. No X-ray sources have been detected consistent with the tentative GOTO optical afterglow candidate (O’Neill et al, GCN Circ. 43538). The 3-sigma upper limit in the field ranges from ~0.01 to ~0.02 ct s^-1, corresponding to a 0.3-10 keV observed flux of 5.0e-13 to 6.9e-13 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (assuming a typical GRB spectrum).
