TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44916 SUBJECT: EP260601a: VLT/X-shooter spectroscopic host galaxy redshift z = 1.068 DATE: 26/06/11 15:26:01 GMT FROM: Agnes van Hoof at Radboud University <agnes.vanhoof(a)ru.nl> A. P. C. van Hoof (Radboud), J. Sanchez-Sierras (Radboud), P. G. Jonker (Radboud), G. Corcoran (UCD), A. J. Levan (Radboud and Warwick), D. B. Malesani (DAWN/NBI and Radboud), A. Martin-Carrillo (UCD), report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the likely host galaxy of EP260601a/GRB 260601B (Yang et al., GCN 44766; Yu et al., GCN 44767; Wang et al., GCN 44768; Waratkar et al., GCN 44771; Sugita et al., GCN 44773) that is at the position of the optical counterpart (Liu et al., GCN 44764; Guelfand et al., GCN 44765; Li et al. GCN 44769) using the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) equipped with the X-shooter spectrograph. The spectrum covers the wavelength range of 3000 - 24000 AA with total exposure times of 2910, 2980 and 3000 s in the UVB, VIS and NIR arms, respectively. The observation started on 2026-06-11 at 07:39:12 UT, i.e. ~10 days after the event. We detect clear emission lines in the spectrum, which we identify as the [O II] 3726, 3729 doublet (resolved), H-gamma, and [O III] 5008 at a redshift of z = 1.068. We suggest that this is the redshift of the host galaxy of EP260601a. We thank the ESO staff at Paranal for their excellent support, in particular Celia Desgrange, Claudia Paladini, Francisco Caceres, and John Pritchard.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44915 SUBJECT: EP260610b: GTC likely spectroscopic redshift z = 1.10 DATE: 26/06/11 14:52:44 GMT FROM: Daniele Bjørn Malesani at Cosmic Dawn Center, Niels Bohr Institute <daniele.malesani(a)nbi.ku.dk> A. P. C. van Hoof (Radboud), D. Mata Sanchez (IAC and ULL), G. Corcoran (UCD), A. J. Levan (Radboud and Warwick), P. G. Jonker (Radboud), D. B. Malesani (DAWN/NBI and Radboud), David Garcia Alvarez (GTC), report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the optical counterpart (Levan et al., GCN 44897; Xin et al., GCN 44900; Zhu et al., GCN 44902; Burkhonov et al., GCN 44904; Moreno Mendez et al., GCN 44906) of the fast X-ray transient EP260610b (Wu et al., GCN 44895; Guo et al., GCN 44912) using the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) located in the island of La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain), equipped with the OSIRIS+ spectrograph. A sequence of 3x1200 s observations was secured using grism R1000B, which covers the wavelength range 3600-7790 AA. The observation mid time was 2026 Jun 11.183 UT (15.58 hr after the EP/WXT trigger). In the acquisition image (taken 14.96 hr after trigger), we measure an AB magnitude r = 23.38 +- 0.11, calibrated against the Pan-STARRS catalog, and not corrected for Galactic extinction. The delivered seeing was 0.8". Weak continuum is detected across the entire wavelength range. From the lack of hydrogen absorption, we can set a firm upper limit to the redshift z < 2.1. Weak absorption features can also be identified matching Mg II and Fe II at z = 1.10. Line-stacking analysis confirms a significant absorption system at this redshift, which we suggest to be the likely redshift of EP260610b.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44912 SUBJECT: EP260610b: refined analysis of the EP-WXT and follow-up EP-FXT observations DATE: 26/06/11 12:50:17 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta(a)bao.ac.cn> C. L. Guo, H. Y. Ren, Z. X. Ling (NAO, CAS), H.Z. Wu (HUST, CAS) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: The fast X-ray transient EP260610b was detected by the Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) on board the Einstein Probe (EP) mission (Wu et al., GCN 44895), and followed by several telescopes (Levan et al. GCN 44897, Xin et al. GCN 44900, Zhu et al. GCN 44902, Burkhonov et al. GCN 44904, Méndez et al. GCN 44906). The WXT observation started at T0=2026-06-10 12:44:25 (UTC), and lasted for around 230 s before being interrupted by autonomous follow-up. The WXT light curve shows an increase in flux during the last 30 s. The average WXT 0.5–4 keV spectrum can be fitted with an absorbed power-law model with a fixed Galactic hydrogen column density of 2.43 × 10^20 cm^−2 and a photon index of 1.48 (+0.81/−0.70). The derived average unabsorbed 0.5–4 keV flux is 2.39 (+1.35/−0.90) × 10^−10 erg s^−1 cm^−2. The autonomous follow-up observation with the Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT) on board EP started at 2026-06-10 12:50:34 (UTC), about 370s after T0. The exposure time was approximately 3726s. The on-ground analysis of the FXT data detected an uncatalogued X-ray source at R.A. = 267.6268 deg, DEC = 46.5388 deg (J2000), with an uncertainty of 10 arcsec in radius (90% C.L., including statistical and systematic uncertainties). The average FXT 0.5–10 keV spectrum can be fitted with an absorbed power-law model with a fixed Galactic hydrogen column density of 2.43 × 10^20 cm^−2 and a photon index of 2.19 (+0.1/−0.1). The derived average unabsorbed 0.5–10 keV flux is 7.36 (+0.4/−0.4) × 10^−12 erg s^−1 cm^−2. The uncertainties quoted above are at the 90% confidence level.

We observed from 2026-06-11 06:51 to 08:13 UTC (from 7.08 to 8.45 hours after the GRB trigger) and obtained 15, 16, 15, 16, and 30 minutes, respectively, of exposure in the g, r, i, z, and y filters. The data were reduced, coadded, calibrated, and analysed with the COLIBRÍ pipeline. The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR2 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction. We detect the source AT2026owq with preliminary magnitudes of: g = 19.48 +/- 0.10 r = 19.02 +/- 0.03 i = 18.61 +/- 0.11 z = 18.54 +/- 0.08 y = 18.25 +/- 0.28 The absence of a strong break within our five filter measurements suggests a low-redshift event. Given the brightness, we encourage spectroscopic observations. Our values are consistent with those reported by GOTO (O'Neill et al., GCN Circ. 44903) and DDOTI (Watson et al., GCN Circ. 44905), given that the source continues to exhibit the same temporal decay reported by Watson et al. (GCN Circ. 44905), with a decay index of alpha ≈ -0.6. 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 México (UNAM and SECIHTI).

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44910 SUBJECT: GRB 260610B / AT2026owq: Early ATLAS observations DATE: 26/06/11 11:00:56 GMT FROM: S. Srivastav at Oxford <shubhamsrivastav(a)gmail.com> J. H. Gillanders (Oxford), S. J. Smartt, K. W. Smith (Oxford, QUB), S. Srivastav, (Oxford), M. Nicholl, D. Young (QUB), T.-W. Chen (NCU, Taiwan), J. Tonry, L. Denneau, H. Weiland (IfA, University of Hawaii), N. Erasmus, W. Koorts (South African Astronomical Observatory), A. Jordan, V. Suc (UAI, Obstech), M. R. Alarcón, J. Licandro, P. Nichita (IAC), D. R. Young, M. Nicholl, T. Moore, J. Weston, X. Sheng, C. R. Angus, A. Wilson, A. Aamer, D. Magill, P. J. Broda, A. J. Smith (QUB), P. Ramsden (Birmingham/QUB), L. Shingles (GSI/QUB), H. Stevance, A. J. Cooper, F. Stoppa, J. Tweddle, L. Eastman (Oxford), L. Rhodes (TSI/McGill), A. Rest (STScI), C. Stubbs (Harvard), J. S. Sommer (LMU), B. P. Schmidt (ANU) The ATLAS survey comprises 5 optical telescopes situated around the globe (Hawaii x2, Chile, South Africa, Tenerife) that are continuously observing the night sky with a cadence of ~12-36 hours (Tonry et al., 2018; Licandro et al., 2023, 2025). Each point of the sky is imaged 4 times across a ~1 hour period so as to identify nearby moving objects. This high-cadence set of observations can also provide tight explosion constraints on extragalactic phenomena, provided an ATLAS unit is serendipitously pointing at the explosion site. Here we report ATLAS-Teide (the Tenerife unit) observations of the optical counterpart (AT2026owq; discovered by GOTO; O’Neill et al., GCN 44903; see also Watson et al., GCN 44905 and Zhu et al., GCN 44909) to GRB 260610B (detected by Fermi/GBM; GCN 44901). ATLAS-Teide observed the sky location of AT2026owq four times on MJDs 61201.96762, 61201.98177, 61201.99593 and 61202.01008 as part of regular survey operations. Each exposure lasted 30s and was acquired with the wide w-band filter (described by Tonry et al., 2025). The first and second exposures returned 5-sigma upper limits of >20.20 and >20.35 AB mag, respectively. The third and fourth exposures detected the transient, with magnitudes of w = 16.26+/-0.02 and w = 16.29+/-0.02 AB mag, respectively. Fermi/GBM reported the detection time of GRB 260610B (GCN 44901) to be MJD 61201.99044. This means that our third exposure, in which we first detected AT2026owq, was obtained just 7.9 minutes post-explosion. Similarly, our second exposure provides an upper limit corresponding to 12.5 minutes pre-explosion. We further note that although a host association is not obvious, the location of GRB 260610B / AT2026owq is in the vicinity of a number of nearby (z ~ 0.1, or D ~ 400-500 Mpc) galaxies; as such, further follow-up is scheduled to quantify the evolution of this (possibly low-z) GRB. The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) project is primarily funded to search for Near-Earth asteroids through NASA grants NN12AR55G, 80NSSC18K0284, and 80NSSC18K1575; byproducts of the NEO search include images and catalogs from the survey area. This work was partially funded by Kepler/K2 grant J1944/80NSSC19K0112 and HST GO-15889, and STFC grants ST/T000198/1 and ST/S006109/1. The ATLAS science products have been made possible through the contributions of the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy, University of Oxford, the Queen's University Belfast, the Space Telescope Science Institute, the South African Astronomical Observatory, and The Millennium Institute of Astrophysics (MAS), Chile.
