Preis (University of Innsbruck) & J. Greiner (MPE Garching) report: The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger 803272919 at 03:21:54 on 16 June 2026 were automatically fitted for spectrum and sky location with BALROG (Burgess et al. 2018, MNRAS 476, 1427; Berlato et al. 2019, ApJ 873, 60).

Pillas (IAP) report on behalf of the SVOM/ECLAIRs team Using the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, we report further analysis of SVOM/ECLAIRs observations of GRB 260614B (SVOM burst-id sb26061401 – GCN 44938, trigger time T0 = 2026-06-14T13:49:55 UTC), which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN 44937, 44942) and GECAM-B (GCN 44945). The burst that triggered ECLAIRs onboard shows a multiple peak lightcurve. The burst duration is T90 = 88 +18/-9 s in the 4-120 keV energy band. The time-averaged spectrum before the slew from T0-4 s to T0+37 s in the 5-120 keV energy range is best fitted by a powerlaw model with a photon index of -1.04 +/- 0.03. With this model, the 4-120 keV fluence is (5.4 +/- 0.1)e-6 erg/cm^2 and the 4-120 keV photon flux is 2.50 +0.04/-0.06 ph/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. The SVOM/ECLAIRs point of contact for this burst is: Marius Brunet (IRAP) (marius.brunet at utoulouse.fr).

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44945 SUBJECT: GRB 260614B: GECAM-B observation DATE: 26/06/15 08:39:27 GMT FROM: Xinghao Luo at IHEP <2952704891(a)qq.com> Xing-Hao Luo, Chen-Wei Wang, Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP) report on behalf of GECAM team: GECAM-B was triggered in-flight by GRB 260614B, at 2026-06-14T13:49:54.950 UTC (denoted as T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #44937), and SVOM/ECLAIRs (O. Godet et.al., GCN#44938). According to the GECAM-B light curves in about 70-6000 keV, this burst mainly consists of multiple pulses with a duration (T90) of 43 +/-7 s. The GECAM-B light curve can be found here: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/gecambgrb260614B.png In addition, the position of this burst is determined by SVOM/VT (RA=353.90883 , DEC=-54.11628, with an uncertainty of 0.50 arcsec, J.T. Palmerio et.al., GCN #44939). With this localization, the time-averaged spectrum from T0-19.5 to T0+22.5 s is best fitted by a power law function. The power law index is -1.58 +0.08/-0.09. The event fluence (10-1000keV) in this time interval is (2.43 +0.17/-0.16)E-05 erg/cm^2. Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) mission originally consists of two micro-satellites (GECAM-A and GECAM-B) launched in Dec. 2020. As the third member of GECAM constellation, GECAM-C was launched onboard SATech-01 experimental satellite in July 2022. GECAM mission is funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44944 SUBJECT: GRB 260610B: SVOM/GRM observation DATE: 26/06/15 08:36:29 GMT FROM: yzh807926(a)163.com SVOM/GRM team: Zheng-Hang Yu, Chen-Wei Wang, Yue Huang, Shi-Jie Zheng, Shao-Lin Xiong, Shuang-Nan Zhang (IHEP) SVOM/ECLAIRs team: Marius Brunet (IRAP) Report on behalf of the SVOM team: SVOM/GRM was triggered on-ground by a burst GRB 260610B at 2026-06-10T23:46:14.100 UTC (T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN #44901). With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a main episode with two peaks a T90 of 65.0 +/-8.0 s in the 15-5000 keV band. The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb260610B.png In addition, the position of this burst, as determined by Fermi/GBM (RA= 218.66 deg, DEC= 23.94 deg, ERR=2.77 deg, GCN#44901), is located at about 74 degrees from the SVOM optical axis, which is outside the ECLAIRs field of view. With this localization, the time-averaged spectrum from T0-10 to T0+60 s is best fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.59 +0.18/-0.22 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 34 +6/-8 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (9.48 +0.50/-0.47)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1s peak spectrum, measured from T0+1.9 to T0+2.9 s, if fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff, the power law index is -1.62 +0.16/-0.32 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 25 +8/-7 keV. The flux (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (3.98 +0.41/-0.37)E-07 erg/cm^2/s. With the measured redshift z=0.473 (D. O'Neill et al., GCN#44914), we calculate the isotropic energy Eiso is about 8.8E51 erg. Thus GRB 260610B is well consistent with Type II GRBs in the 'Amati' relation diagram, as shown at: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb260610B_amati.png The localization of GRB 260421B in the 'Yonetoku' relation diagram is shown at: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb260610B_yonetoku.png 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.
