TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44301 SUBJECT: GOTO discovery of fast-fading transient GOTO26djh/AT2026jpw, a candidate orphan afterglow DATE: 26/04/15 18:38:37 GMT FROM: d.s.oneill(a)bham.ac.uk D. O'Neill, M. Wortley, M. Pursiainen, B. P. Gompertz, J. Lyman, R. Starling, G. Ramsay, K. Ackley, M. Dyer, K. Ulaczyk, D. Steeghs, D. Galloway, V. Dhillon, P. O'Brien, K. Noysena, R. Kotak, R. Breton, J. Casares, L. Nuttall, B. Godson, T. Killestein, A. Kumar, on behalf of GOTO collaboration, A. Aryan, T.-W. Chen, Y.-H. Lee, T. K. Ho Ngo, and H.-Y. Hsiao (all NCU), report: We report on the discovery of the rapidly-evolving transient GOTO26djh/AT2026jpw with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO; Steeghs et al. 2022, Dyer et al. 2024) during survey operations. The object was discovered at 2026-04-13 23:17:32 UT at co-ordinates: RA,DEC (J2000): = 13:22:13.21, +37:02:15.16, 200.555049, 37.03754 Observations consisted of 4 x 45s exposures taken in the L band (400-700 nm). Images were processed immediately after acquisition using the GOTO pipeline. Difference imaging was performed using deeper template observations. The source was initially detected with L = 19.00 ± 0.08 AB mag at t0=2026-04-13 23:17:32 UT before fading to L = 19.61 ± 0.18 AB mag at 2026-04-14 03:21:27 UT (t0 +4.06h), suggesting a decay rate of ~3.5 mag/d. No underlying source is detected in either the Pan-STARRS or SDSS surveys that would suggest the presence of a host galaxy or stellar counterpart. Additionally, the high Galactic latitude (b = +78.15 deg) would be unusual for a local stellar origin. We performed follow-up observations with the 1 m Lulin One-meter Telescope (LOT) at Lulin Observatory, Taiwan, as part of the Kinder collaboration (Chen et al. 2025, ApJ, 983, 86). The first epoch of LOT observations began at 2026-04-15 14:41 UT (MJD 61145.612, t0 +39.40h). The transient was detected with an r-band magnitude r=21.55 ± 0.07 AB mag. Using this combined dataset, the estimated decay index ranges from -1.6 < alpha < -1.1, assuming explosion times of 12h to 6h pre-discovery, consistent with the decay indices seen in GRB afterglows. GOTO26djh/AT2026jpw is not detected in the most recent pre-discovery GOTO observations taken at 2026-04-12 00:00 UT (t0 -47.29h) to a 3-sigma limiting magnitude of L > 20.5. This constrains its onset to a window of < 2 days before discovery. Despite the apparent lack of an underlying star and an evolution consistent with GRB afterglows, a local stellar origin cannot be definitively excluded with the current data. We encourage further follow-up to determine the nature of this transient. EP/FXT ToO observations have been scheduled. GOTO magnitudes were calibrated using ATLAS-REFCAT2 (Tonry et al. 2018). LOT magnitudes were calibrated using SDSS stars. Observations are not corrected for Galactic extinction. GOTO (https://goto-observatory.org) is a network of telescopes that is principally funded by the STFC and operated at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma, Spain, and Siding Spring Observatory in NSW, Australia, on behalf of a consortium including the University of Warwick, Monash University, Armagh Observatory & Planetarium, the University of Leicester, the University of Sheffield, the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT), the University of Turku, the University of Portsmouth, the University of Manchester, the University of Birmingham and the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC).

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44297 SUBJECT: GRB 260414A: Glowbug gamma-ray detection DATE: 26/04/14 23:14:50 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, reports the detection of GRB 260414A, which was detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN 44293). Using an adaptive window with a resolution of 32-ms, the burst onset is determined to be 2026-04-14 06:31:55.248 with a duration of 21.5 s and a total significance of about 21 sigma. The detection occurred during a time of high background as Glowbug was entering the northern radiation belt. The brightest peaks in the light curve are at ~T0+3.5s and ~T0+12.5s. 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.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44296 SUBJECT: EP260409a: Early NIR limits from MIRAGE on the MDM 1.3m telescope DATE: 26/04/14 17:44:51 GMT FROM: Viraj Karambelkar at Indian Inst of Tech,Bombay <karambelkarvraj21197(a)gmail.com> V. Karambelkar, K. De (Columbia University), G. Mo (Carnegie/Caltech), S. Ibrahim, D. Schiminovich (Columbia University) We observed the field of the fast X-ray transient EP260409a (Jiang et al. 2026, GCN 44240) using the MDM InfraRed Astronomy inGaas Explorer (MIRAGE) instrument on the MDM 1.3m telescope in the near-infrared J and Hs bands. Observations were carried out starting at UTC 2026-04-09T03:10:30 in the J-band and 2026-04-09T03:40:58 in the H-band, approximately three hours after the EP trigger. The exposures lasted for a total of 16 minutes in the J-band and 32 minutes in the H-band. We do not detect the counterpart reported by Quirola-Vasquez et al., GCN 44264 to 5-sigma limits of J >~ 19.5 mag (AB) Hs >~ 19.8 mag (AB) MIRAGE is a new YJHs-band near-infrared imager for the MDM 1.3m telescope.

The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of multiple pulses with a T90 of 40 +4/-6 s. The 1s peak rate, measured from T0+23 s, is 1028 cnts/sec. Insight-HXMT/HE detected a total of 9203 counts from this burst. The HXMT/HE light curve can be found here: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/hxmtgrb260412A.png All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors of Insight-HXMT/HE operating in the regular mode with the energy range of about 60-900 keV (deposited energy). Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside of the telescope.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44292 SUBJECT: The EP-WXT trigger 01709260122 is likely a flaring star DATE: 26/04/14 06:10:11 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta(a)bao.ac.cn> K. R. Ni (CCNU), Q. C. Liu (THU), D. Y. Li and H. W. Pan (NAO, CAS) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: The EP-WXT trigger 01709260122 at the time of 2026-04-14T05:13:09, is likely a stellar flare associated with RX J1553.0+4457. The estimated flux of the flare is around 1.26e-9 erg/s/cm^2 in 0.5-4.0 keV, corresponding to an X-ray luminosity of around 2.05e32 erg/s. Launched on January 9, 2024, EP is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability (Yuan et al. 2022, Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics).
