TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43959 SUBJECT: EP260306a: Mondy optical upper limit DATE: 26/03/11 10:31:25 GMT FROM: Alina Volnova at IKI RAS <alinusss(a)gmail.com> A. Volnova (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), N. Pankov (IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of IKI-GRB-FuN: We observed the field of the fast X-ray transient EP260306a (Huang et al., GCNs 43930, 43937) using the AZT-33IK 1.5m telescope of the Mondy observatory on March 7, 8, and 9 taking several 120-seconds frames in the R band. In the stacked frame of the three epochs we do not detect the optical counterpart reported previously (Li et al., GCN 43929; Globus et al., GCN 43931; Ma et al., GCN 43933; Levan et al., GCN 43934). Preliminary photometry of the galaxy and observational details are the following: Date UT start t-T0 Exp. Filter Obj. Err.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43958 SUBJECT: GRB 260310A: AstroSat CZTI detection of a long burst DATE: 26/03/11 07:19:18 GMT FROM: Anuraag Arya at IIT Bombay <aryaanuraag910(a)gmail.com> S. Salunke (IUCAA), Harsha K. H. (IUCAA), M. Tembhurnikar (IUCAA), A. Arya (IITB), A. Goyal (IITB), G. Waratkar (Caltech/IITB), A. Vibhute (IUCAA), V. Bhalerao (IITB), D. Bhattacharya (Ashoka University/IUCAA), A. R. Rao (IUCAA/TIFR), and S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration: Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data with the CIFT framework (Sharma et al., 2021, JApA, 42, 73) showed the detection of a long GRB 260310A which was also detected by Fermi GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 43951). The source was clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2026-03-10 04:57:12.05 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 273 (+67, -57) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 2709 (+573, -589) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1494 (+6, -6) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 30 (+2, -8) s from the cumulative Veto light curve. The source was also clearly detected in the 20-200 keV energy range. CZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, URSC, IUCAA, SAC, and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed, and facilitated the project.

[vsnet-grb-info 42074] GRB 260307B: SVOM/ECLAIRs refined analysis

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43953 SUBJECT: GRB 260307B: SVOM/ECLAIRs refined analysis DATE: 26/03/10 16:09:19 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup(a)bao.ac.cn> M. Brunet, L. Bouchet (IRAP), F. Magnani, A. Foisseau (CPPM), report on behalf of the SVOM/ECLAIRs team. Using the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, we report further analysis of SVOM/ECLAIRs observations of GRB 260307B (SVOM burst-id sb26030704 – GCN 43940, trigger time T0 = 2026-03-07T13:45:26 UTC), which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN 43948). The burst that triggered ECLAIRs shows a single peak lightcurve lasting for around 41 s prior to the slew, followed by a featureless emission after the slew. The burst duration is estimated to be around 580 s in the 4-120 keV energy band through imaging. The time-averaged spectrum before the slew (from T0-24 s to T0+17 s) in the energy range 5-120 keV is best fitted by a powerlaw model with a photon index of -1.29 +/-0.10. With this model, the 4-120 keV fluence is (9.4 +0.5/-1.4)e-7 erg/cm^2 and the 4-120 keV photon flux is 0.54 +0.02/-0.06 ph/cm^2/s. The time-averaged spectrum after the slew (from T0+151 s to T0+560 s) in the energy range 5-120 keV is best fitted by a powerlaw model with an exponential cutoff. The photon index is -0.96 +0.37/-0.33 and the peak energy is 36 +38/-14 keV. With this model, the 4-120 keV fluence is (1.4 +0.1/-0.7)e-6 erg/cm^2 and the 4-120 keV photon flux is 0.12 +0.01/-0.06 ph/cm^2/s. Using the best fit parameter from the spectrum before the slew to fit the spectrum after the slew does not give a good fit (chi²/dof: 21.1/12), which implies the presence of a spectral evolution with time. All the quoted errors are at the 68% confidence level. 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. ECLAIRs was developed jointly by CNES, CEA-IRFU, CNRS-IRAP, CNRS-APC.

From a preliminary analysis, an unresolved radio source is detected at a position (J2000): RA: 13:38:55.595 +- 0.001 Dec: +33:48:06.12 +- 0.01 consistent with the X-ray (Swift-XRT team, GCN 43652) and optical (Podesta et al., GCN 43640; GOTO collaboration, GCN 43641; SVOM/VT team, GCN 43655; ZTF collaboration, GCN 43657; Dimple et al., GCN 43661; Magnani et al., GCN 43664; Gupta et al., GCN 43665; Volnova et al., GCN 43666, 43770, 43771; Bochenek et al., GCN 43676; Pérez-Fournon et al., GCN 43694; Swift/UVOT team, GCN 43702) position of the transient. The preliminary analysis yields the following results: ================================================================ T_mid Freq Peak r.m.s. Beam PA [days] [GHz] [uJy/b] [uJy/b] [arcsec^2] [deg] ================================================================ 2.04 6 59 7 1.57x0.31 -60 2.04 10 90 8 1.27x0.18 -57 2.04 15 125 10 1.02x0.14 -55 ================================================================ No source is detected with a >3sigma confidence level at the aforementioned position in the VLASS. However, the r.m.s. noise level of the survey at the GRB location is approximately 130 uJy/b. We would like to thank the staff of the VLA for approving, executing, and processing the observations. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc. These observations were carried out as part of project SF181027, approved in the framework of the Fermi - NRAO joint program agreement.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43951 SUBJECT: GRB 260310A: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization DATE: 26/03/10 05:07:50 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 LONG GRB At 04:57:10 UT on 10 Mar 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260310A (trigger 794811435.80987 / 260310206). The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 213.6, Dec = 78.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 14h 14m, 78d 42'), with a statistical uncertainty of 4.3 degrees. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 124.0 degrees.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43950 SUBJECT: GRB 260307A: Glowbug gamma-ray detection DATE: 26/03/09 20:35:59 GMT FROM: C.C. Cheung at Naval Research Lab <Teddy.Cheung(a)nrl.navy.mil> C.C. Cheung, R. Woolf, M. Kerr, J.E. Grove (NRL), A. Goldstein (USRA), C.A. Wilson-Hodge, D. Kocevski (MSFC), and M.S. Briggs (UAH) report: The Glowbug gamma-ray telescope [1,2,3], operating on the International Space Station, confirms the detection of GRB 260307A, which was detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN 43939) and CALET (Trigger 1456918069). The burst onset is at 2026-03-07 11:27:59.2 with a burst duration of 5.0s. The analysis results presented here are preliminary and use a response function that lacks a detailed characterization of the surrounding passive structure of the ISS. Glowbug is a NASA-funded technology demonstrator for sensitive, low-cost gamma-ray transient telescopes developed, built, and operated by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) with support from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, USRA, and NASA MSFC. It was launched on 2023 March 15 aboard the Department of Defense Space Test Program’s STP-H9 to the ISS and operated until 2024 April when it was put in safe storage on orbit. Glowbug was removed from storage and resumed operation on 2025 September 12. [1] Grove, J.E. et al. 2020, Proc. Yamada Conf. LXXI, arXiv:2009.11959 [2] Woolf, R.S. et al. 2022, Proc.
