TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42400 SUBJECT: EP251023a: COLIBRÍ optical observations DATE: 25/10/23 15:22:43 GMT FROM: nikos.mandarakas(a)lam.fr Nikos Mandarakas (LAM), Ramandeep Gill (UNAM), Jean-Grégoire Ducoin (CPPM), Alan M. Watson (UNAM), Noémie Globus (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), Kin Ocelotl López (UNAM), Diego López-Cámara (UNAM), Francesco Magnani (CPPM), 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 EP251023a (Wu et al., GCN Circ. 42388) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2025-10-23 09:29 to 10:57 UTC (from 7.0 to 8.4 hours after the trigger) and obtained 32 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the r and z filters, alternating with other observations. 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 firstly identified by GOTO (Wortley et al., GCN Circ. 42387) and subsequently reported by Las Cumbres Observatory (Li et al., GCN Circ. 42389) and NOT (Liu et al., GCN Circ. 42391) at preliminary magnitudes of: r = 18.82 +/- 0.01 z = 18.52 +/- 0.01 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).

Chornock (UC Berkeley) reports: We observed the optical afterglow (Wortley et al., GCN 42387; Li et al., GCN 42389; Liu et al. GCN 42391) of the X-ray transient EP251023a (Wu et al., GCN 42388) using the Low-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer on the Keck-I telescope at a mean time of 13:26UT on 2025 October 23 (~10.9 hours after the EP trigger). Observations covered the range 3100-10300 Angstroms. The afterglow remains bright and the continuum is well detected across the full spectral range. Multiple absorption systems are present, but the highest redshift absorber has many absorption lines (including Lyman-alpha, Si II, Si II*, O I, O I*, C II, Si IV, C IV, Fe II, Mg I and Mg II) present at a common redshift of z=2.232+/-0.001.

DDOTI covered the entire Fermi/GBM error region from 07:00 UTC to 10:16 UTC (from T+8.4 h to T+ 11.7 h after the trigger), obtaining a total exposure of 80 minutes, alternating with other scientific programs. Comparing our observations to the USNO-B1 and Pan-STARRS PS1 DR2 catalogues, our system automatically identified the fading nature of the optical candidate previously reported by GOTO (O’Neill et al., GCN Circ. 42386) with a preliminary AB magnitude of: w = 19.45 +/- 0.04. Further observations and analysis are on going. This value is not corrected for the Galactic extinction. We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra of San Pedro Mártir.

SVOM/VT performed ToO observation to the field of EP251021b/GRB 251021A (Dai et al., GCN 42377; Ravasio et al., GCN 42379). The observation stared at 2025-10-22T20:09:33 UTC, I.e., 29.69 hours post trigger in the VT_B (400nm-650nm) and VT_R (650nm-1000nm) channels simultaneously. Within the error box of EP-FXT (Dai et al., GCN 42377), an uncatalogued source was detected, compared to the Legacy survey DR9 catalog. The position is at R.A., Dec. = 306.745094, -38.3034732 degrees, equivalent to: R.A. (J2000) = 20:26:58.82 Dec. (J2000) = -38:18:12.50 with an uncertainty of 0.5 arcsec. The candidate's magnitudes are given below: Mid_time Band Exposure Time Magnitude (AB) 30.75 hour VT_B 45*70 sec 23.62+/-0.25 mag 30.75 hour VT_R 54*70 sec 22.80+/-0.20 mag Our photometry was derived in AB magnitude and not corrected for Galactic extinction. The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe.

Sugizaki (Kanazawa U.), W. Iwakiri (Chiba U.), T. Kawamuro (Osaka U.), S. Yamada (Tohoku U) report on behalf of the MAXI team: The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered a bright uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 08:49:03 UT on October 23, 2025. Assuming that the source flux was constant over the transit, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (72.930 deg, 12.205 deg) = (04 51 43, +12 12 18) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.15 deg and 0.13 deg, respectively. The roll angle of long axis from the north direction is 71.0 deg counterclockwise. There is an additional systematic uncertainty of 0.1 deg (90% containment radius). The X-ray flux averaged over the scan was 341 +- 36 mCrab (4.0-10.0keV, 1 sigma error). Without assumptions on the source constancy, we obtain a rectangular error box for the transient source with the following corners: (72.360, 11.893) deg = (04 49 26, +11 53 34) (J2000) (72.539, 11.711) deg = (04 50 09, +11 42 39) (J2000) (73.436, 12.551) deg = (04 53 44, +12 33 03) (J2000) (73.256, 12.734) deg = (04 53 01, +12 44 02) (J2000) There was no significant excess flux in the previous transit at 07:16 UT with an upper limit of 20 mCrab for each.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42391 SUBJECT: EP251023a: NOT optical counterpart detection DATE: 25/10/23 10:01:31 GMT FROM: liuxing(a)nao.cas.cn X. Liu, Z.P. Zhu, L.B. He, J. An, S.Q. Jiang, D. Xu (NAOC), J.P.U. Fynbo (DAWN/NBI), Niko Pyykkinen (NOT) report on behalf of a large collaboration: We observed the field of the EP251023a (Wu et al., GCN 42388) using the 2.56m Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) equipped with the ALFOSC camera. Observation started at 05:55:11 UTC on 2025-10-23, i.e., 3.4 hours after the EP trigger, and a series of frames were obtained in the Sloan r- and z- bands. Within the EP/FXT localization error region (Wu et al., GCN 42388), the optical counterpart (Wortley et al., GCN 42387; Li et al., GCN 42389) is also clearly detected in both r- and z- bands with magnitudes as follows: T-mid (hr) | Filter | Exposure | Mag 3.49 | r | 3x200s | 18.57 +- 0.01 3.72 | z | 5x150s | 18.36 +- 0.01 calibrated against nearby Pan-STARRS stars and not corrected for Galactic extinction.
