TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43520 SUBJECT: EP260126a: Einstein Probe detection of a fast X-ray transient DATE: 26/01/27 02:36:26 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta(a)bao.ac.cn> S.Y. Fu (HUST), Z.M. Wang (BNU), J.H. Wu (GZHU), H.Y. Liu, H.W. Pan (NAOC, CAS) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: We report on the detection of a fast X-ray transient by the Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) on board the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, designated EP260126a. The event started at 2026-01-26T04:25:01 (UTC) and lasted for about 1400 seconds. The WXT position of the source is R.A. = 103.737 deg, DEC = 37.699 deg (J2000) with an uncertainty of 2.1 arcmin in radius (90% C.L. statistical and systematic). The average WXT 0.5-4 keV spectrum can be fitted with an absorbed power law with a photon index of 1.16(-/+0.17) and with a fixed galactic hydrogen column density of 1.21 x 10^21 cm^-2. The derived average unabsorbed 0.5-4 keV flux is 2.77 (-0.26/+0.29) x 10^-10 erg/s/cm^2. The peak flux in the 0.5-4 keV band reaches 1.49(-0.14/+0.16) x 10^-9 erg/s/cm^2. The uncertainties are at the 90% confidence level for the above parameters. A follow-up observation with the Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT) was performed at 2026-01-26T23:08:05 (UTC), about 19 hours after the trigger. Within the WXT error circle, an uncatalogued X-ray source was detected at R.A. = 103.7537 deg, DEC = 37.7067 deg (J2000) with an uncertainty of 20 arcsec in radius (90% C.L. statistical and systematic). Further information will be updated when the telemetry data is received. 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).

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43519 SUBJECT: Fermi-LAT Gamma-ray Observations of IceCube-260125A DATE: 26/01/26 21:49:24 GMT FROM: Leo Pfeiffer at University of Würzburg <pfeiffer.leo(a)gmail.com> L. Pfeiffer (Univ. of Wuerzburg), S. Buson (DESY, Univ. of Wuerzburg) and S. Garrappa (Weizmann Institute of Science) on behalf of the Fermi-LAT collaboration: We report an analysis of observations of the vicinity of the high-energy IC260125A neutrino event (GCN 43512) with all-sky survey data from the Large Area Telescope (LAT), on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The IceCube event was detected on 2026-01-25 at 10:09:39.88 UTC (T0) with J2000 position RA = 243.72 (+0.52, -0.56) deg, Decl. = 6.69 (+0.62, -0.61) deg 90% PSF containment (J2000). No cataloged gamma-ray sources are found within the 90% IC260125A localization error (4FGL-DR4; The Fourth Fermi-LAT catalog Data Release 4, The Fermi-LAT collaboration 2023, arXiv:2307.12546). We searched for the existence of intermediate (days to years) timescale emission from a new gamma-ray transient source. Preliminary analysis indicates no significant (>5sigma) new excess emission (> 100 MeV) within the IC260125A 90% confidence localization. Assuming a power-law spectrum (photon index = 2.0 fixed) for a point source at the IC260125A best-fit position, the >100 MeV flux upper limit (95% confidence) is < 1.4e-10 ph cm^-2 s^-1 for ~17-years (2008-08-04 / T0), <5.3e-09 (<8.8e-08) ph cm^-2 s^-1 for a 1-month (1-day) integration time before T0. Since Fermi normally operates in an all-sky scanning mode, regular monitoring of this source will continue. For this analysis, the Fermi-LAT contact person is L. Pfeiffer (leonard.pfeiffer at uni-wuerzburg.de). The Fermi LAT is a pair conversion telescope designed to cover the energy band from 20 MeV to greater than 300 GeV. It is the product of an international collaboration between NASA and DOE in the U.S. and many scientific institutions across France, Italy, Japan and Sweden.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43518 SUBJECT: GRB 260125A: NOT optical observations on GOTO26acv / AT 2026bjf DATE: 26/01/26 14:19:11 GMT FROM: Daniele Bjørn Malesani at Cosmic Dawn Center, Niels Bohr Institute <daniele.malesani(a)nbi.ku.dk> D. B. Malesani (DAWN/NBI and Radboud), B. P. Gompertz (Birmingham), G. Corcoran (UCD), L. Izzo (INAF/OAC and DARK/NBI), A. Martin-Carrillo (UCD), S. Bijavara Seshashayana (NOT), report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the optical candidate GOTO26acv / AT 2026bjf (Gompertz et al., GCN 43514) of the Fermi GRB 260125A (Fermi GBM team, GCN 43510) using the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) equipped with the ALFOSC camera. Observations were carried out using the SDSS griz filters, and started on 2026 Jan 25.995 UT (16.27 hr after the Fermi/GBM trigger). Visual inspection reveals no obvious point source at the coordinates of GOTO26acv / AT 2026bjf, on top of the galaxy PGC 139241 (LEDA 139241), in any of the observed bands, though we note that the bright and complex morphology of the galaxy makes a clear identification tough. Image subtraction against the Legacy survey archival images yields an upper limit r > 22.75 (AB) at a mean time of 16.47 hr after trigger (5x150 s exposure time). This value is calibrated against the Pan-STARRS catalog and is not corrected for Galactic extinction. Our limit is notionally deeper than the extrapolation of the power-law decay reported by Gompertz et al. (GCN 43514), even after accounting for a GOTO/ALFOSC color term and the quoted decay index uncertainty.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43517 SUBJECT: Konus-Wind detection of GRB 260120B DATE: 26/01/26 13:06:35 GMT FROM: Anna Ridnaia at Ioffe Institute <ridnaia(a)mail.ioffe.ru> A. Ridnaia, D. Frederiks, A. Lysenko, D. Svinkin, A. Tsvetkova, M. Ulanov, and T. Cline, on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report: The long-duration GRB 260120B (Fermi GBM detection: Fermi GBM team, GCN 43477; Godwin & Meegan, GCN 43489; Swift-BAT detection: Ferro et al., GCN 43479; Palmer et al., GCN 43493; AstroSat CZTI detection: Goyal et al., GCN 43504) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=64826.649 s UT (18:00:26.649). The burst light curve shows a single pulse, which starts at ~T0-3.2 s and has a total duration of ~5.9 s. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB260120_T64826/ As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of 3.41(-0.52,+0.58)x10^-6 erg/cm2, and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0-0.064 s, of 1.97(-0.58,+0.60)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). Since a major part of the burst emission was detected before the trigger, the spectral analysis was performed using the KW 3-channel light curve data. Modelling the KW 3-channel time-integrated spectrum (measured from T0-3.173 s to T0+2.720 s) by a power law with exponential cutoff (CPL) model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep), yields alpha = -0.56(-0.23,+0.30) and Ep = 246(-53,+67) keV. All the quoted errors are at the 68% confidence level. All the quoted values are preliminary.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43516 SUBJECT: GRB 251222A: SVOM/ECLAIRs refined analysis DATE: 26/01/26 11:12:41 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup(a)bao.ac.cn> Hui Yang, Sebastien Guillot, Olivier Godet, Marius Brunet, Guangxuan Lan (IRAP) Using the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, we report further analysis of ECLAIRs observations of GRB 251222A (SVOM burst-id sb25122206, GCN 43188). The burst that triggered ECLAIRs consists of multiple peaks, and is detected for more than 200 s in the 4-120 keV energy band. The time-averaged spectrum before the slew from T0-14 s to T0+37 s (T0 = 2025-12-22T17:05:46) in the energy range 5-120 keV is best fitted by a cutoff power-law model with a photon index of 1.3+/-0.1, an Ecut of 54(+29/-15) keV, giving a corresponding 4-120 keV flux of (4.9+/-0.3)e-8 erg/cm^2/s. The spectrum from T0+162 s to T0+192 s after the slew in the energy range 5-120 keV is well fitted by a power-law model with a photon index of 2.4 +/-0.2 giving a corresponding 4-120 keV flux of (9+/-1)e-9 erg/cm^2/s. 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.

25 Jan '26

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43514 SUBJECT: GRB 260125A: GOTO candidate optical counterpart DATE: 26/01/25 20:20:30 GMT FROM: Ben Gompertz at U of Birmingham <b.gompertz(a)bham.ac.uk> B. P. Gompertz, S. Moran, D. O’Neill, R. Starling, K. Ackley, M. Dyer, J. Lyman, K. Ulaczyk, D. Steeghs, D. Galloway, V. Dhillon, P. O'Brien, G. Ramsay, K. Noysena, R. Kotak, R. Breton, J. Casares, L. Nuttall, B. Godson, T. Killestein, A. Kumar, M. Pursiainen report on behalf of GOTO collaboration: We report on optical observations with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO; Steeghs et al. 2022, Dyer et al. 2024) in response to the GRB 260125A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 43510). Observations from GOTO-South (Siding Spring) covering the localisation area began at 2026-01-25 12:06:29 UT (+4.49h post trigger) and continued through to 2026-01-25 15:46:04 UT (+8.54h post trigger). 292 images were taken, across 16 unique pointings, covering 510.2 within the 90% localisation contour. ~78.0% of the total 2D localisation probability was covered, with an average 5-sigma depth of 20.8 mag. Images were processed immediately after acquisition using the GOTO pipeline. Difference imaging was performed using deeper template observations. Source candidates were initially filtered using a classifier (Killestein et al. 2021) and cross-matched against a variety of contextual and minor planet catalogs. Human vetting was carried out in real time on any candidates that passed the above checks. Within the 90% probability region, we identify a new transient, GOTO26acv (AT 2026bjf), lying on the 20th percentile contour of the GBM localisation map at coordinates: RA = 10:06:16.71, Dec = -06:34:33.55 (J2000), equivalent to RA = 151.56962, Dec = -6.57599 degrees. GOTO26acv / AT 2026bjf was discovered with an AB magnitude of L = 20.17 ± 0.16 in an epoch taken at 12:29:25 UT, i.e. 4.87h post-trigger. Across three epochs of detection, it was observed to fade by 0.42 ± 0.25 magnitudes in 2.35 hours, equivalent to a power-law decay rate of t^-0.92 ± 0.38. The final detection magnitude was L = 20.59 ± 0.19 at 14:50:26 UT. The source is spatially coincident with the galaxy PGC 139241 at a luminosity distance of 53 Mpc. It is offset from the nucleus by ~9”. The source was not present in the most recent survey image of the field, taken at 13:37:58 UT on 2026-01-24 (0.75 days prior to the GRB trigger), to a 3-sigma limiting magnitude of L > 20.95. We also find no evidence of GOTO26acv / AT 2026bjf prior to the GRB trigger time in the ZTF observations provided by the Lasair broker (Smith et al. 2019), or the ATLAS forced photometry server (Shingles et al. 2021). Further follow-up observations to establish the nature of GOTO26acv / AT2026bjf and its potential association with GRB 260125A are encouraged. Magnitudes were calibrated using ATLAS-REFCAT2 (Tonry et al. 2018) and not corrected for Galactic extinction.

[vsnet-grb-info 41611] IceCube-260125A - IceCube observation of a high-energy neutrino candidate track-like event
by GCN Circulars 25 Jan '26

25 Jan '26

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43512 SUBJECT: IceCube-260125A - IceCube observation of a high-energy neutrino candidate track-like event DATE: 26/01/25 11:33:55 GMT FROM: A. Zegarelli at Ruhr University Bochum <azegarelli(a)icecube.wisc.edu> The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports: On 26-01-25 at 10:09:39.88 UT IceCube detected a track-like event with a moderate probability of being of astrophysical origin. The event was selected by the ICECUBE_Astrotrack_BRONZE alert stream. The average astrophysical neutrino purity for Bronze alerts is 30%. This alert has an estimated false alarm rate of 1.9783 events per year due to atmospheric backgrounds. The IceCube detector was in a normal operating state at the time of detection. After the initial automated alert (https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/notices_amon_g_b/141985_63695019.amon) more sophisticated reconstruction algorithms have been applied offline, with the direction refined to: Date: 26-01-25 Time: 10:09:39.88 UT RA: 243.72 (+0.52/-0.56 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000 Dec: 6.69 (+0.62/-0.61 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000 As announced in GCN Circular 43419, IceCube alert notices for high-energy track alerts are now also streamed via Kafka. IceCube Gold/Bronze track alerts are available on the Kafka topic 'gcn.notices.icecube.gold_bronze_track_alerts'. The probability distribution of the true neutrino direction, allowing the extraction of precise 90% containment regions around the best-fit direction, is now available for revised reconstruction of high-energy track alerts. The corresponding sky map is distributed as a FITS file and follows the explicit naming convention IceCube-YYMMDDX (e.g. IceCube-260125A, for this alert), where YYMMDD indicates the date of the event and X is a letter distinguishing multiple alerts on the same day. The download link (e.g., for this alert https://roc-2.icecube.wisc.edu/public/alerts/IceCube-260125A_skymap_probden…) is provided through the GCN schema distributed via Kafka.
