TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41966 SUBJECT: GRB 250922B: SVOM/GRM observation DATE: 25/09/24 14:10:14 GMT FROM: Chenwei Wang at IHEP <cwwang(a)ihep.ac.cn> SVOM/GRM team: Chen-Wei Wang. Wen-Jun Tan, Yue Huang, Shi-Jie Zheng, Shao-Lin Xiong, Shuang-Nan Zhang (IHEP) SVOM/ECLAIRs team: Stéphane Schanne (CEA) Report on behalf of the SVOM team: SVOM/GRM was triggered on-ground by a burst GRB 250922B at 2025-09-22T21:13:25.900 UTC (T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN#41944). With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a single pulse with a T90 of 0.07 +0.05/-0.03 s in the 15-5000 keV band. The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb250922B.png In addition, the position of this burst, as determined by Fermi/GBM (RA= 48.7, DEC= 30.7, GCN#41944), is located at about 52 degrees from the SVOM optical axis, which is just outside the ECLAIRs field of view. With this localization, the time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.2 to T0+0.1 s is best fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.15 +0.12/-0.15 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 1060 +110/-460 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (4.38 +0.55/-0.53)E-07 erg/cm^2.

We observed from 2025-09-24 08:33:51 to 09:46:24 UTC (from 15 to 88 minutes after the trigger) and obtained images in the g, r, i, z and y 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 detect the optical counterpart reported by source Siegel et al., GCN Circ. 41959 and Becerra et al., GCN Circ. 41960 at: RA(J2000) = 3:27:29.71 = 51.8738 degrees Dec(J2000) = +74:39:33.7 = +74.6594 degrees with an uncertainty of 0.5 arcsec.

Saccardi (CEA/Irfu), J. T. Palmerio (CEA/Irfu), Z. Q. Wang (GXU), Y. F.

[vsnet-grb-info 40026] GRB 250924A: Swift detection of a burst with an optical counterpart
by GCN Circulars 24 Sep '25

24 Sep '25

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41959 SUBJECT: GRB 250924A: Swift detection of a burst with an optical counterpart DATE: 25/09/24 08:35:33 GMT FROM: K.L. Page at U Leicester <klp5(a)leicester.ac.uk> M. H. Siegel (PSU), J. J. DeLaunay (PSU), R. Gupta (NASA GSFC), S. Lanava (PSU), K. L. Page (U Leicester) and D. M. Palmer (LANL) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 08:18:29 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 250924A (trigger=1351790). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 51.865, +74.652 which is RA(J2000) = 03h 27m 28s Dec(J2000) = +74d 39' 07" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a complex structure with a duration of about 30 sec. The peak count rate was ~1000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~17 sec after the trigger. The XRT began observing the field at 08:21:32.8 UT, 183.6 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find a bright, fading, uncatalogued X-ray source with an enhanced position: RA, Dec 51.87141, 74.65894 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 03h 27m 29.14s Dec(J2000) = +74d 39' 32.2" with an uncertainty of 2.7 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 25 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT error circle. This position may be improved as more data are received; the latest position is available at https://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event data gives a column density consistent with the Galactic value of 2.77 x 10^21 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The initial flux in the 2.5 s image was 1.03e-09 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.2-10 keV). UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter starting 192 seconds after the BAT trigger. There is a candidate afterglow in the rapidly available 2.7'x2.7' sub-image at RA(J2000) = 03:27:29.62 = 51.87340 DEC(J2000) = +74:39:34.0 = 74.65945 with a 90%-confidence error radius of about 0.62 arc sec. This position is 1.6 arc sec. from the center of the XRT error circle. The estimated magnitude is 17.74 with a 1-sigma error of about 0.14. No correction has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.316. Burst Advocate for this burst is M. H. Siegel (siegel AT swift.psu.edu) Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information regarding Swift followup of this burst.
