TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40635 SUBJECT: The EP-WXT trigger 01709177873 is likely a flaring star DATE: 25/06/06 02:53:28 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta(a)bao.ac.cn> T. Y. Lian, R. D. Liang (NAOC), H. L. Peng (NNU), T. C. Zheng (PMO), W. Yuan (NAOC) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: The EP-WXT trigger 01709177873 at the time of 2025-06-05T18:51:47, is likely a stellar flare associated with RX J1553.0+4457. The estimated flux of the flare is around 1.2e-10 erg/s/cm^2 in 0.5-10.0 keV, corresponding to an X-ray luminosity of around 2e31 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).

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40634 SUBJECT: GRB 250605A: LT optical observations DATE: 25/06/05 22:51:33 GMT FROM: Ben Gompertz at U of Birmingham <b.gompertz(a)bham.ac.uk> B. P. Gompertz (U. Birmingham), Dimple (U. Birmingham), A. Martin-Carrillo (UCD), G. Corcoran (UCD) and D. B. Malesani (DAWN/NBI and Radboud), report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We initiated follow-up observations of GRB 250605A (Gupta et al., GCN 40633) with the IO:O camera on the 2m robotic Liverpool Telescope (LT). Observations began at 20:48:52.89 UT, ~2 hours after the Swift/BAT trigger, and consisted of 10x60 s exposures in the SDSS i filter. Observations were taken close to twilight, at high airmass, and the target was 28 deg from the moon at 77% illumination. Within the Swift/XRT error box, we detect a possible optical counterpart, not present in archival imaging, with an AB magnitude of i ~ 21.1 at RA = 11:07:49.7, Dec = -19:47:15.4. However, this detection is only significant at the 2-sigma level and further, deeper observations are required to confirm its reality. Formally, we measure a 3-sigma upper limit of i > 20.6 within the XRT localisation region. We also note the presence of a faint source visible in the Legacy Survey archival imaging with an AB magnitude of i = 23.54. The source position is consistent with the possible optical counterpart, and may be the host galaxy of GRB 250605A. Magnitudes are calibrated against nearby Pan-STARRS stars and not corrected for galactic extinction.

[vsnet-grb-info 38669] GRB 250605A: Swift detection of a burst
by GCN Circulars 05 Jun '25

05 Jun '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40633 SUBJECT: GRB 250605A: Swift detection of a burst DATE: 25/06/05 19:08:03 GMT FROM: K.L. Page at U Leicester <klp5(a)leicester.ac.uk> R. Gupta (NASA GSFC), J. J. DeLaunay (PSU), S. Dichiara (PSU), C. Gronwall (PSU), N. J. Klingler (GSFC/UMBC/CRESSTII), H. A. Krimm (NSF), M. J. Moss (GSFC), K. L. Page (U Leicester), T. M. Parsotan (GSFC), M. H. Siegel (PSU) and M. A. Williams (PSU) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 18:52:31.27 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 250605A (trigger=1321323). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 166.977, -19.795 which is RA(J2000) = 11h 07m 54s Dec(J2000) = -19d 47' 42" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve shows a complex light curve with one strong pulse between T0-2 sec to T0+10 sec and a second dimmer but broad pulse between T0+40 sec to T0+100 sec. The peak count rate was 4,000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~2 sec after the trigger. The XRT began observing the field at 18:54:09.2 UT, 98.0 seconds after the BAT trigger. XRT found a bright, uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 166.9571, -19.7882 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 11h 07m 49.70s Dec(J2000) = -19d 47' 17.5" with an uncertainty of 5.5 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 71 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT error circle. No event data are yet available to determine the column density using X-ray spectroscopy. UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 144 seconds with the White filter starting 106 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate has been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 19.6 mag. The 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No correction has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.039. Burst Advocate for this burst is R. Gupta (rahulbhu.c157 AT gmail.com). Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information regarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after trying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see Swift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/) View this GCN Circular online at https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/40633. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked pulse, which starts at ~T0-0.5 s and has a total duration of ~0.8 s. The emission is seen up to ~10 MeV. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB250601_T62975/ As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of 2.02(-0.28,+0.31)x10^-6 erg/cm2, and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0-0.004 s, of 7.00(-2.01,+2.06)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). Since the brightest peak of the burst light curve 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 T0-0.492 s to T0+0.276 s) by a power law with exponential cutoff (CPL) model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep), yields alpha = 0.31(-0.37,+0.52) and Ep = 436(-62,+76) keV. All the quoted errors are at the 68% confidence level. All the quoted values are preliminary.

Vadawale, on behalf of the Astrosat-CZTI team, and W. Boynton, C. Fellows, K. Harshman, H. Enos, R. Starr, and A.S. Gardner on on behalf of the GRS-Odyssey GRB team, report: The short-duration GRB 250404B (AstroSat CZTI detection: Salunke et al., GCN Circ. 40078) was detected by Konus-Wind, Swift (BAT), AstroSat (CZTI), and Mars-Odyssey (HEND) at about 66970 s UT (18:36:10). The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT. We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose coordinates are: --------------------------------------------- RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg --------------------------------------------- Center: 273.629 (18h 14m 31s) -2.251 ( -2d 15' 03") Corners: 273.108 (18h 12m 26s) -2.676 ( -2d 40' 35") 274.127 (18h 16m 31s) -1.659 ( -1d 39' 32") 274.151 (18h 16m 36s) -1.842 ( -1d 50' 30") 273.131 (18h 12m 31s) -2.866 ( -2d 51' 58") --------------------------------------------- The error box area is 768 sq. arcmin, and its maximum dimension is 1.6 deg (the minimum one is 9 arcmin). The Sun distance was 100 deg. This localization may be improved. A triangulation map and HEALPix FITS file are posted at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB250404_T66970/IPN/ The HEALPix triangulation map is the multi-order HEALPix in units of probability density. The Konus-Wind time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular.
