TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42374 SUBJECT: GRB 251016A: SVOM/ECLAIRs refined analysis DATE: 25/10/21 11:52:34 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup(a)bao.ac.cn> M. Brunet, O. Godet, S. Guillot (IRAP), B. Hubert (CEA), S.Basa, S.Boissier (LAM) Using the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, we report further analysis of ECLAIRs observations of GRB 251016A (SVOM burst-id sb2525101602, GCN 42308) detected at T0 = 2025-10-16T14:59:20, which was also detected by SVOM/GRM, Fermi/GBM (GCN 42309), CALET/GBM (GCN 42321), Glowbug (GCN 42313), AstroSat/CZTI (GCN 42327) and HXMT/HE (GCN 42359). The burst that triggered ECLAIRs consists of a single short peak, with a duration of T90 = 0.69 +0.09/-0.19 s in the 4-120 keV energy band. The time-averaged spectrum from the peak (T0-0.4 s to T0+0.4 s) in the 5-120 keV energy range is well fitted by a power-law model with a photon index of 1.00 +/-0.16, which is consistent with the results found by Smith at al. 2025 (GCN 42365). With this model, the total 4-120 keV fluence is (3.01 +0.27/-0.94) e-07 erg/cm^2 . 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 irap.omp.eu).

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42373 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA S251021u: Identification of a GW compact binary merger candidate DATE: 25/10/21 03:49:52 GMT FROM: alvinli(a)g.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration report: We identified the compact binary merger candidate S251021u during real-time processing of data from LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1) and LIGO Livingston Observatory (L1) at 2025-10-21 03:22:15.181 UTC (GPS time: 1445052153.181). The candidate was found by the Aframe [1], cWB [2], cWB BBH [3], GstLAL [4], MBTA [5], PyCBC Live [6], and SPIIR [7] analysis pipelines. S251021u is an event of interest because its false alarm rate, as estimated by the online analysis, is 2.2e-09 Hz, or about one in 14 years. The event's properties can be found at this URL: https://gracedb.ligo.org/superevents/S251021u The classification of the GW signal, in order of descending probability, is BBH (>99%), Terrestrial (<1%), BNS (<1%), or NSBH (<1%). Assuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin, the probability that at least one of the compact objects is consistent with a neutron star mass (HasNS) is <1%. [8] Using the masses and spins inferred from the signal, the probability of matter outside the final compact object (HasRemnant) is <1%. [8] Both HasNS and HasRemnant consider the support of several neutron star equations of state for maximum neutron star mass. The probability that either of the binary components lies between 3 and 5 solar masses (HasMassGap) is <1%. The source chirp mass falls with highest probability in the bin (44.0, 88.0) solar masses, assuming the candidate is astrophysical in origin. Two sky maps are available at this time and can be retrieved from the GraceDB event page: * amplfi.multiorder.fits,0, an initial localization generated by AMPLFI [9], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 25 seconds after the candidate event time. * bayestar.multiorder.fits,0, an initial localization generated by BAYESTAR [10], distributed via GCN and SCiMMA notices about 4 minutes after the candidate event time. The preferred sky map at this time is bayestar.multiorder.fits,0. For the bayestar.multiorder.fits,0 sky map, the 90% credible region is 3742 deg2. Marginalized over the whole sky, the a posteriori luminosity distance estimate is 7164 +/- 2185 Mpc (a posteriori mean +/- standard deviation).

[vsnet-grb-info 40447] Fermi-LAT gamma-ray observations of IceCube-251018A
by GCN Circulars 19 Oct '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42371 SUBJECT: Fermi-LAT gamma-ray observations of IceCube-251018A DATE: 25/10/19 23:49:18 GMT FROM: Simone Garrappa at Weizmann Institute of Science <simone.garrappa(a)weizmann.ac.il> S. Garrappa (Weizmann Institute of Science), L. Pfeiffer (Univ. of Wuerzburg), S. Buson (DESY, Univ. of Wuerzburg) and C.Bartolini (Univ. of Trento & INFN Bari) on behalf of the Fermi-LAT collaboration: We report an analysis of observations of the vicinity of the IC251018A high-energy neutrino event (GCN 42351) 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 25-10-18 at 05:05:42.97 UT (T0) with J2000 position RA = 321.11 (+3.09/-2.94) deg, Decl. = +41.31 (+2.46/-3.51) deg (90% PSF containment). There are three catalogued gamma-ray sources (4FGL-DR4; The Fourth Fermi-LAT catalog Data Release 4, The Fermi-LAT collaboration 2023, arXiv:2307.12546) located within the 90% IC251018A localization region. These are: 4FGL J2118.3+4055: unassociated,at 1.2 deg distance from the best-fit neutrino position; 4FGL J2120.5+4331: unassociated, at 2.3 deg distance from the best-fit neutrino position; 4FGL J2136.5+4259: associated with the blazar of uncertain type TXS 2134+428, at 2.8 deg from the best-fit neutrino position; Based on a preliminary analysis of the LAT data over the timescale of one day and one month prior T0, these objects are not significantly detected at gamma-rays. 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) at the IC251018A bestfit position. Assuming a power-law spectrum (photon index = 2.0 fixed) for a point source at the IC251018A best-fit position, the >100 MeV flux upper limit (95% confidence) is < 8.4 e-10 ph cm^-2 s^-1 for ~17-years (2008-08-04 / T0), < 7.4e-09 (<5.9e-08) ph cm^-2 s^-1 for a 1-month (1-day) integration time before T0. In the analysis of the ~17-years integrated LAT data (100 MeV - 1 TeV), a 5 sigma new excess of gamma rays, Fermi J2125.8+3940 was detected 1.65 deg offset from the best-fit IC251018A position and within the 90% confidence localization of the direction of the neutrino. Assuming a power-law spectrum, the best-fit localization is (J2000) RA = 321.46 deg, Dec = +39.69 deg (6 arcmin 99% containment, 3 arcmin 68% containment). The gamma-ray best-fit spectral parameters are flux = (8 +/- 3)e-10 ph cm^-2 s^-1 and index = 1.84+/-0.12. In a preliminary analysis of the LAT data over 1-day and 1-month prior T0, Fermi J2125.8+3940 is not significantly detected in the LAT data. All values include the statistical uncertainty only. The statistical significance is calculated following the prescription adopted in the 4FGL (Abdollahi et al. 2020, ApJS, 247, 33). Since Fermi normally operates in an all-sky scanning mode, regular monitoring of this region will continue. For these observations the Fermi-LAT contact person is S. Garrappa (simone.garrappa at weizmann.ac.il). 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: 42369 SUBJECT: IceCube-251018A: Upper limits from a search for additional neutrino events in IceCube DATE: 25/10/19 18:45:31 GMT FROM: Yuhua Yao at IceCube/UW-Madison <yyao255(a)icecube.wisc.edu> The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports: IceCube has performed a search [1] for additional track-like muon neutrino events arriving from the direction of IceCube-251018A (https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/42352) in a time range of 1000 seconds centered on the alert event time (2025-10-18 04:57:22.970 UTC to 2025-10-18 05:14:02.970 UTC) during which IceCube was collecting good quality data. Excluding the event that prompted the alert, zero track-like events are found within the 90% containment region of IceCube-251018A. We report a p-value of 1.00 in this time window. IceCube’s sensitivity to neutrino point sources with an E^-2.5 spectrum, expressed as E^2 dN/dE evaluated at 1 TeV, is 1.5e-01 GeV cm^-2 within the 90% spatial containment region of IceCube-251018A in a 1000 second time window. 90% of events IceCube would detect from a source at this declination with an E^-2.5 spectrum have energies in the approximate energy range between 2e+02 GeV and 6e+04 GeV. A subsequent search was performed including 2 days of data centered on the alert event time (2025-10-17 05:05:42.970 UTC to 2025-10-19 05:05:42.970 UTC). In this case, we report a p-value of 0.02, consistent with no significant excess of track events. IceCube’s sensitivity to neutrino point sources with an E^-2.5 spectrum, expressed as E^2 dN/dE evaluated at 1 TeV, ranges from 1.7e-01 to 1.8e-01 GeV cm^-2 within the 90% spatial containment region of IceCube-251018A in a 2 day time window.

We observed from 2025-10-19 01:57 to 05:53 UTC (from 41.48 to 45.22 hours after the trigger) and obtained 96 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the i and z filters. The data were 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. Compared to our observations on the previous night (Angulo et al., GCN Circ. 42348), we find the optical counterpart has faded by only Delta i = 0.06 +/- 0.04 We see similar behaviour in z. These results suggest that we may be observing a late plateau. Further observations are planned and encouraged. 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).

Sakamoto (AGU) (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-60 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 251017A (trigger #1404904) (Gupta, et al., GCN Circ. 42322). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 335.404, 7.048 deg which is RA(J2000) = 22h 21m 37.0s Dec(J2000) = +07d 02' 54.4" with an uncertainty of 1.3 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 93%. The mask-weighted BAT light curve shows main emission followed by weaker emission. T90 (15-350 keV) is 116.90 +- 61.91 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-5.48 to T+125.08 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.40 +- 0.20. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.2 +- 0.1 x 10^-06 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+6.41 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.3 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42365 SUBJECT: GRB 251016A: Fermi GBM Observation DATE: 25/10/18 23:23:26 GMT FROM: Jacob Smith at Fermi-GBM Team <jrs0118(a)uah.edu> Jacob Smith (UAH) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team: "At 14:59:19.76 UT on 16 October 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 251016A (trigger 782319564/251016625), which is was detected by SVOM/ECLAIRs (Basa et al., GCN 42308), CALET-GBM (Kawakubo et al., GCN 42321), Glowbug (Woolf et al., GCN 42313) and Astro Sat CZTI (Arya et al., GCN 42327). The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the SVOM/ECLAIRs position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 42 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of a single emission episode with a duration (T90) of about 0.32 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.1 to T0+0.4 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.83 +/- 0.04 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 1317 +/- 145 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (3 +/- 0.08)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured starting from T0+0.13 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 34 +/- 2 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/42365. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…
