Holzmann Airasca et al., GCN Circ. 44253) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2026-04-11 03:50:46 to 04:47:10 UTC (from 20.7805 to 21.7371 hours after the trigger) and obtained 2460 seconds of simultaneous exposure in the r/z filters. The data were reduced, coadded, calibrated, and analyzed with the COLIBRÍ ASU pipeline. The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction. In the stacked image, we do not detect any new source at the Fermi-LAT source position (A. Holzmann Airasca et al., GCN Circ. 44253) down to the following 5-sigma limit: r > 23.26 z > 21.83 We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional at Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, as well as the technical and engineering teams at CEA, CPPM, IRAP, LAM, OHP, OSU Pytheas, and UNAM. 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.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44259 SUBJECT: EP-WXT01709259790: Optical Upper limits with kinder observations DATE: 26/04/11 02:08:30 GMT FROM: Janet Chen at National Central University <janetstars(a)gmail.com> A. Aryan, T.-W. Chen, C.-S. Lin (all NCU), A. K. H. Kong (NTHU), S. Yang(HNAS), S. J. Smartt, J. Gillanders (both Oxford), A. Sankar.K, M.-H. Lee, A. Dutta, Y.-H. Lee, Y.-C. Pan, C.-C. Ngeow, C.-H.

Rhodes (all Oxford), M. Nicholl, M. Fulton, K. W. Smith, C. Angus, A. Aamer (all QUB), T. Moore (STScI), A. Schultz and M. Huber (both IfA, Hawaii) report: We observed the field of the WXT trigger 01709259790 using the 40cm SLT at the Lulin observatory, as part of the Kinder collaboration (Chen et al. 2025, ApJ, 983, 86, doi:10.3847/1538-4357/adb428). The first SLT epoch of observations in r-band started at 12:10 UTC on 10th of April 2026 (MJD 61140.5068), 42 min after the EP-WXT detection. The EP-WXT transient was later identified as the star Gaia DR3 782359908221356544 during its flaring stage (Huang et al. GCN 44256). The star has an archival SDSS magnitude of r = 16.20. In our observations, we captured the stellar flare and the star varies from r = 15.561 +/- 0.042 in our first frame to r = 15.838 +/- 0.028 in the final (12th) image. The detailed photometric measurements using AutoPhOT are as follows: Telescope | Filter | MJD (start) | t-t0 (hr) | Exposure (s) | Magnitude| SLT | r | 61140.5068 | 0.70 | 300 * 1 | 15.561 +/- 0.042 SLT | r | 61140.5104 | 0.78 | 300 * 1 | 15.582 +/- 0.048 SLT | r | 61140.5141 | 0.87 | 300 * 1 | 15.614 +/- 0.049 SLT | r | 61140.5177 | 0.96 | 300 * 1 | 15.718 +/- 0.043 SLT | r | 61140.5215 | 1.05 | 300 * 1 | 15.740 +/- 0.045 SLT | r | 61140.5251 | 1.14 | 300 * 1 | 15.750 +/- 0.038 SLT | r | 61140.5289 | 1.23 | 300 * 1 | 15.762 +/- 0.038 SLT | r | 61140.5326 | 1.31 | 300 * 1 | 15.786 +/- 0.041 SLT | r | 61140.5363 | 1.40 | 300 * 1 | 15.793 +/- 0.043 SLT | r | 61140.5400 | 1.49 | 300 * 1 | 15.805 +/- 0.035 SLT | r | 61140.5437 | 1.58 | 300 * 1 | 15.817 +/- 0.033 SLT | r | 61140.5473 | 1.67 | 300 * 1 | 15.838 +/- 0.028 We also utilized our Kinder Pipeline for the combined 300 sec*12 frames, we obtained an r-band limit of >20.6 mag at a median airmass of 1.13 and an average seeing of 1".5. Our limit is consistent with He et al. (GCN 44254). The presented magnitudes are calibrated using the field stars from the PanSTARRS catalog. The reported upper limit is not corrected for an expected galactic extinction of A_r = 0.02 mag in the direction of the transient (Schlafly & Finkbeiner 2011). The methodology, details on the Lulin observatory telescopes, and a compilation of our optical follow-up campaign for FXTs discovered within the first year of operation of the Einstein-Probe mission are presented in Aryan et al. 2025, ApJS, 281, 20, doi:10.3847/1538-4365/adfc69.

Piron (LUPM) and C. Lachaud (APC) report on behalf of the SVOM mission team: At 2026-04-10T12:22:27 UTC (T0), SVOM/GRM triggered on the gamma-ray burst GRB 260410B (SVOM burst-id sb26041001) on a timescale of 1 seconds and with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 5.90.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44258 SUBJECT: GRB 260410A: Fermi GBM Observation DATE: 26/04/10 17:00:13 GMT FROM: rhamburg(a)usra.edu R. Hamburg (USRA), U. Pathak (IIT Bombay) and R. Sonawane (IISER TVM) report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team: "At 07:03:57.00 UT on 10 April 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260410A (trigger 797497441/260410294), which was also detected by Fermi-LAT (Holzmann Airasca et al. 2026, GCN 44253) and SVOM/GRM (Wang et al. 2026, GCN 44257). The Fermi GBM real-time localization (GCN 44252) is consistent with the Fermi-LAT position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 49 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of a single bright emission episode with a duration (T90) of about 1 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.07 to T0+0.30 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.17 +/- 0.01 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 960 +/- 30 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.33 +/- 0.01)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured starting from T0+0.0 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 12.0 +/- 1.0 ph/s/cm^2. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/fermi/fermigbrst.html For Fermi GBM data and info, please visit the official Fermi GBM Support Page: https://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/gbm/" View this GCN Circular online at https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/44258. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…

Holzmann Airasca at University of Trento and INFN Bari <a.holzmannairasca(a)unitn.it> A. Holzmann Airasca (Univ. Trento and INFN Bari), D. Depalo (Politecnico and INFN Bari), S. Lopez (CNRS / IN2P3), R. Gupta (NASA / GSFC) and F. Longo (Univ. and INFN Trieste) report on behalf of the Fermi-LAT team the detection of a likely SHORT GRB: At 07:03:57.00 UT on April 10th, 2026, Fermi-LAT detected high-energy emission from GRB 260410A, which was also detected by Fermi-GBM (trigger 797497442 / 260410294, GCN #44252). The best LAT on-ground location is found to be RA, Dec = 110.67, -20.94 (J2000) with an error radius of 0.17 deg (90 % containment, statistical error only). This was 49 deg from the LAT boresight at the time of the trigger. The data from the Fermi-LAT show a significant increase in the event rate that is spatially and temporally correlated with the trigger with high significance. The photon flux above 100 MeV in the time interval 0 - 2 s after the GBM trigger is (1.23 ± 0.38)E-3 ph/cm2/s. The estimated photon index above 100 MeV is -1.84 ± 0.24. The highest-energy photon is a 6.1 GeV event, which is observed 0.37 seconds after the GBM trigger. The Fermi-LAT point of contact for this burst is Sara Cutini (sara.cutini(a)pg.infn.it) 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.
