Using the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, we report further analysis of ECLAIRs observations of GRB 250610B (SVOM burst-id sb25061018).
The burst that triggered ECLAIRs onboard (GCN #40671) …
[View More]consists of a single large peak with a duration of T90 = 108.25 -13.14 / +34.95 s in the 4-120 keV energy band.
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-10s to T0+80s (T0 = 2025-06-10T16:32:58 UTC) in the energy range 5-120 keV is best fitted by a cutoff powerlaw model with a photon index of 0.9 +/- 0.1 and a cutoff energy of 49 +14/-10 keV. This translates to a Epeak-value of 53 +16/-12 keV. These spectral parameters are consistent with those obtained by SVOM/GRM (GCN #40683). With this model, the total 4-120 keV fluence is (2.9 +0.1/-0.4)e-6 erg/cm^2.
All the quoted errors are given at the 68% confidence level.
Given that the ECLAIRs calibration is still on-going, the above results shall be seen as preliminary.
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.

SUBJECT: GRB 250612A: Swift detection of a burst or new Galactic transient Swift J1643.6-3854
DATE: 25/06/12 01:27:51 GMT
FROM: James DeLaunay at PSU <jjd330(a)psu.edu>
M. H. Siegel (PSU), J. J. DeLaunay (PSU), R. Gupta (NASA GSFC) and
M. A. Williams (PSU) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift
Observatory Team:
At 01:02:05.82 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 250612A (trigger=1323295). The BAT on-board …
[View More]calculated location is RA, Dec 250.903, -38.902 which is
RA(J2000) = 16h 43m 37s
Dec(J2000) = -38d 54â 06"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a complex
structure with a duration of about 5 sec. The peak count rate
was ~1000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.
Due to a Moon observing constraint, Swift cannot slew to the BAT
position until 11:59 UT on 2025 June 12. There will thus be no XRT or
UVOT data for this trigger before this time.
Given the location of the BAT detection at a Galactic latitude of 4.6 deg and no confirmation of a fading afterglow due to observing constraints, we cannot rule out a Galactic origin.
If this is a new Galactic transient we would name it Swift J1643.6-3854.
Burst Advocate for this burst is M. H. Siegel (siegel AT swift.psu.edu).
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/)

SUBJECT: Fermi GBM Sub-Threshold Detection of GRB 250610B
DATE: 25/06/11 19:54:51 GMT
FROM: rhamburg(a)usra.edu
R. Hamburg (USRA) reports on behalf of the Fermi-GBM Team:
The SVOM/ECLAIRs and SVOM/GRM instruments detected GRB 250610B on 2025-06-10T16:32:58 (GCN 40671). There was no Fermi-GBM onboard trigger around this event time. An automated, blind search for gamma-ray bursts below the onboard triggering threshold in Fermi-GBM identified no …
[View More]candidates.
The GBM Targeted Search [1], the most sensitive, coherent search for GRB-like signals in GBM data, identified a transient starting approximately 31 seconds after the SVOM/ECLAIRs trigger time, most significantly on the 16.384 s timescale and with a false alarm rate of 9.7e-5 Hz. Using the standard search protocol, the Targeted Search localization was found to be spatially consistent with the SVOM/ECLAIRs location. Additionally, the GBM Targeted Search transient was found with the highest significance using a "soft" spectrum (Band function with Epeak = 70 keV, alpha = -1.9, beta = -3.7) for a GRB. This is roughly consistent with the soft spectrum found by Wang et al. 2025 (GCN 40682).

Saccardi (CEA), and J. Rodriguez (CEA):
We imaged the field of the SVOM GRB 250610B (Saccardi et al., GCN Circ. 40671) using the DDRAGO wide-field imager on the SVOM/COLIBRÍ (FM-GFT) telescope. We observed from 2025-06-11 04:35 to 06:40 UTC (from 12.0 to 14.1 hours after the trigger) and obtained 32 minutes of exposure in each of the g, r and i filters.
The data were reduced and coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and analysed 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 detected the optical counterpart reported by Schneider et al., GCN Circ. 40676; Gompertz et al., GCN Circ. 40677; Li et al., GCN Circ. 40678; Bochenek et al., GCN Circ. 40684, and Qiu et al., GCN Circ. 40685 at preliminary magnitudes of:
g = 21.83 +/- 0.14
r = 21.56 +/- 0.10
i = 21.49 +/- 0.09
Our detections are consistent with the shallow decay reported by the SVOM/VT team (Qiu et al., GCN Circ. 40685) and imply a temporal decay index of ~0.6.
Further observations are planned.
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.

[View More]SDSS r’ and SDSS g’ filters starting at 2025-05-11 00:16:50 UT, approximately 19.9 hours after the X-ray detection.
We performed image subtraction on the stacked images using reference images from Pan-STARRS and also compared the stacked and reference images manually. In agreement with Schneider et al. (GCN 40661), Brivio et al. (GCN 40665), Yao et al. (GCN 40666) and Lipunov et al.

At the position of the X-ray source, we derive 3-sigma upper limits of r’ > 22.1 and g’ > 22.1 with photometry calibrated to Pan-STARRS and not corrected for Galactic extinction.
