by GCN Circulars 26 Sep '25

26 Sep '25
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41998 SUBJECT: GRB 250925A: JinShan optical observations DATE: 25/09/26 09:44:45 GMT FROM: liuxing(a)nao.cas.cn GRB 250925A: JinShan optical observations X. Liu (NAOC), S.Y. Fu (HUST) S.Q. Jiang, J. An, Z.P. Zhu, D. Xu (NAOC), A.D. Zhu, L. Lei (HUST), J.Z. Liu (XAO) report on behalf of a large collaboration: We observed the field of GRB 250925A detected by Swift/BAT (Dichiara, GCN 41985), using the 100cm-A (100A) and 100cm-C telescope (100C) of the JinShan project, located at Altay, Xinjiang, China. The 100A observation automatically started at 17:05:21.07 UT on 2025-09-25, i.e., 54.57 seconds after the BAT trigger, and the 100C observation started one hour later. A series of frames were obtained in the Sloan r- and z- bands. The reported optical afterglow (Corcoran et al., GCN41990; Bochenek et al., GCN 41991; Masi et al., GCN 41992; Méndez et al., GCN 41995; Méndez et al., GCN 41995) was detected in our stacked 100C images in both r- and z- bands. Preliminary photometric results are as follows: T-mid (hr) | Filter | Exposure | Mag 2.05 | z | 24x180s | 20.26 +/- 0.15 3.02 | r | 8x200s | 22.10 +/- 0.20 calibrated with nearby Pan-STARRS1 DR2 stars without the Galactic extinction correction. We acknowledge the excellent support from T.Q. Chen and J.F. Zhang for enabling these observations.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41997 SUBJECT: GRB 250925A: 1.5m OSN optical detection and redshift with the 10.4m GTC/OSIRIS+ DATE: 25/09/26 09:41:57 GMT FROM: Alberto Castro-Tirado at Inst.de Astro. de Andalucia <ajct(a)iaa.es> A. J. Castro-Tirado, A. Sota, R. Sanchez-Ramirez, S. Guziy, M.D. Caballero-Garcia, S.-Y. Wu and I. Perez-Garcia (IAA-CSIC), D. Garcia-Alvarez (GTC, IAC), A. Perez-Romero (GTC), A. Cabrera-Lavers (IAC, GTC), S. B. Pandey (ARIES), M. Gritsevich (Univ. of Helsinki), Y.-D. Hu (GXI), A. Nicuesa Guelbenzu (Tautenburg Obs.), L. Piro (INAF/IAPS) and B.-B. Zhang (NJU), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report: Following the detection of GRB 250925A by Swift (Dichiara et al. GCNC 41985) we conducted optical follow-up observations with the 1.5m OSN at Observatorio de Sierra Nevada (Granada), starting on Sep 25 at 21:47 UT. At the position of the X-ray afterglow (Page et al. GCNC 41988), we detect the optical afterglow (with I = 19.7 +/- 0.1) previously discovered at the NOT (Corcoran et al. (GCNC 41990) and also reported by means of other ground-based telescopes (Bochenek et al. GCNC 41991, Masi et al. GCNC 41992, Moreno Mendez et al. GCNC 41995). Additional observations were conducted with the 10.4m GTC telescope, at the Spanish Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, on the island of La Palma, equipped with the OSIRIS+ instrument. The spectroscopic observations consisted of 900s exposures using grisms R1000B and R2500I, with a joint spectral coverage between 3,600 and 10,000 A. The observations started on Sep 25, 21:57 UT (i.e. 4.9 h after the burst trigger). We detect a strong DLA at ~6000 A, among a plethora of metal absorption lines, that we interpret as coming from NV, SiII, SiII*, OI, CII, SiIV, CIV, FeII, FeII*, AlII, AlII, NiII, MgII, MgI at z=3.899, consistent with the COLIBRI photometry as suggested (Moreno Mendez et al. GCNC 41995). The detection of fine structure features confirms the association of this absorption system to GRB 250925A.

[vsnet-grb-info 40062] GRB 250925A: COLIBRÍ optical photometry of the afterglow
by GCN Circulars 25 Sep '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41995 SUBJECT: GRB 250925A: COLIBRÍ optical photometry of the afterglow DATE: 25/09/26 05:52:29 GMT FROM: enriquemm(a)astro.unam.mx Enrique Moreno Méndez (UNAM), N. A. Rakotondrainibe (LAM), Alan M. Watson (UNAM), Stéphane Basa (UAR Pytheas), William H. Lee (UNAM), Jean-Luc Atteia (IRAP), Camila Angulo (UNAM), Dalya Akl (NYUAD), Sarah Antier (OCA), Rosa L. Becerra (U Roma), Nathaniel R. Butler (ASU) , Damien Dornic (CPPM), Jean-Grégoire Ducoin (CPPM), Francis Fortin (IRAP), Leonardo García García (UNAM), Ramandeep Gill (UNAM), Noémie Globus (UNAM), Kin Ocelotl López (UNAM), Diego López-Cámara (UNAM), Francesco Magnani (CPPM), Margarita Pereyra (UNAM), Fredd Sánchez Álvarez (UNAM), Benjamin Schneider (LAM), and Antonio de Ugarte Postigo (LAM): We imaged the field of the Swift GRB 250925A (Dichiara et al., GCN Circ. 41985) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2025-09-26 02:45 to 04:30 UTC (from 9.7 to 11.4 hours after the trigger) and obtained 32/32/64 minutes of exposure in the r/i/z filters. The data were reduced and coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and 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. We detected the optical source reported by Corcoran et al. (GCN Circ. 41990) at preliminary magnitudes of: r = 23.07 +/- 0.18 i = 21.62 +/- 0.07 z = 21.02 +/- 0.06 The source has faded, confirming that it is the afterglow. Compared to the early observations reported by Corcoran et al., we derive a temporal index of about -0.9 in z. The very red r-i color is suggestive of a GRB at a moderately high redshift with a break in r. Further observations are ongoing. 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). It is located at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41990 SUBJECT: GRB 250925A: NOT optical afterglow candidate DATE: 25/09/25 21:19:47 GMT FROM: Daniele Bjørn Malesani at Cosmic Dawn Center, Niels Bohr Institute <daniele.malesani(a)nbi.ku.dk> G. Corcoran (UCD), L. Cotter (UCD), D. B. Malesani (DAWN/NBI and Radboud), A. Martin-Carrillo (UCD), A. de Ugarte Postigo (LAM), B. Schneider (LAM), K. Valeckas (NOT and NBI), report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the field of GRB 250925A (Dichiara et al., GCN 41985) using the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) equipped with the ALFOSC imager. Observations started on 2025 Sep 25.847 UT (3.254 hr after trigger) and consisted of 3x300 s and 5x200 s in each of the SDSS r and z bands. Within the UVOT-enhanced XRT position (Page et al., GCN 41988), we detect an object which is not seen in Pan-STARRS archival imaging of this field. Its coordinates are: RA(J2000) = 22:44:51.31 Dec(J2000) = +46:33:21.3 with an estimated error of 0.3”. Calibrated against nearby objects from Pan-STARRS, we measure AB magnitudes (not corrected for Galactic extinction): r = 21.99 +- 0.10 (3.30 hr after the trigger) z = 19.96 +- 0.05 (3.69 hr after the trigger) We note that this is a rather red r-z color, even considering the non-negligible but still modest Galactic extinction A_V ~ 0.75 mag along this line of sight (Schlafly & Finkbeiner 2011; doi:10.1088/0004-637X/737/2/103). This might indicate either an intrinsic spectral slope, or unaccounted extinction in our Galaxy or in the GRB host.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41989 SUBJECT: GRB 250925A: Leavitt Observatory optical upper limit DATE: 25/09/25 21:19:01 GMT FROM: leavittob(a)gmail.com E. Pavoni, L. Moretti (Leavitt Observatory, Italy) Members of: GRB/UAI - Gamma Ray Burst Section of Unione Astrofili Italiani ATA - Associazione Tuscolana di Astronomia In a large collaboration with: M.G. Dainotti (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan), Y. Niino (Tokyo University, Institute of Astronomy), K. Kalinowski (Aarhus University, Department of Physics and Astronomy), report: We observed the field of GRB 250925A detected by Swift (Dichiara et al., GCN 41985), using our Ritchey-Chrétien telescope (D=250 mm, F/D=8). The observations began approximately 128 minutes after the trigger, stacking a set of CCD images of 180 seconds each, with good weather conditions. All images were processed by a single data processing pipeline based on astropy package (Astropy Collaboration et al., 2022ApJ...935..167A). No credible candidate was detected in our stacked frame within the Swift error circle. We derived the following upper limit: | Mid-Time (UTC) | Filter | Exp. Time | Upper limit (3-sigma) | | ------------------- | ------ | ----------- | ----------------------| | 2025-09-25T19:42:51 | CR | 20x180 sec | 20.49 | CR magnitude is unfiltered with R zero point. The photometry was calibrated with the Pan-STARRS cat. (R-mags obtained via Lupton 2005 transformations). Not corrected for the Galactic extinction. This upper limit is consistent with the report by GROWTH-India Telescope (Saikia et al., GCN 41986). This message may be cited.
