TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45129 SUBJECT: GRB 260704A: SVOM/ECLAIRs refined analysis DATE: 26/07/10 07:41:16 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup(a)bao.ac.cn> GRB 260704A: SVOM/ECLAIRs refined analysis Wenjin Xie (NAOC), Marius Brunet (IRAP), Olivier Godet (IRAP), Floriane Cangemi (APC), Xiao Tian (GXU), Yehao Cheng (YNU) report on behalf of the SVOM/ECLAIRs team Using the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, we report further analysis of SVOM/ECLAIRs observations of GRB 260704A (SVOM burst-id sb26070403 – GCN 45072, trigger time T0 = 2026-07-04T03:41:05 UTC). The burst shows a multiple peak lightcurve, with a precursor between T0-41s and T0 s, and a main pulse from T0+105 s to T0+160 s. The burst duration is T90 = 166 +10/-7 s in the 4-120 keV energy band. Considering the main pulse data, the refined burst localization we obtained is R.A., Dec = 318.631, -25.532 degrees : R.A. (J2000) = 21h14m31.44s Dec. (J2000) = -25d31m55.20s with a 90% confidence level (C.L.) radius of 5.2 arcmin (including systematic error of 2 arcmin added in quadrature). We note that the refined ECLAIRs central position is 4.33 arcmin from the X-ray counterpart position mentioned by the SVOM/MXT (W.J. Xie et al., GCN Circ. 45072) , and 4.79 from the position provided by EP/FXT (Y.-H. I. Yin et al., GCN Circ. 45078). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-41 s to T0 s (precursor) in the 5-120 keV energy range is best fitted by a powerlaw model with best-fit parameters alpha = -2.71 +/- 0.31. the 4-120 keV fluence is 1.7 +0.1/-0.7 erg/cm² (photon flux is 0.29 +0.01/-0.11 ph/cm²/s) . For the main pulse, the time-averaged spectrum from from T0+105 s to T0+160 s in the 5-120 keV energy range is best fitted by a powerlaw model with alpha = -1.96 +/- 0.12, the 4-120 keV fluence is 6.1 +0.5/-0.7 erg/cm² (photon flux is 0.48 +0.01/-0.05 ph/cm²/s) . The values of the photon index may imply that the peak energy of the burst is less than 5 keV. If so, GRB 260704A shall be classified as an X-ray flash The SVOM/ECLAIRs point of contact for this burst is: Wenjin XIE (NAOC) (xiewj(a)bao.ac.cn) View this GCN Circular online at https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/45129. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…

Elhosseiny (KAO), O. Sokoliuk (UKyiv), Y. Rajabov (UBAI), Z. Maksut NU), E. Jehin (U of Liège), M. Ferrais (U of Liège) on behalf of GRANDMA collaboration: We observed the field of GRB 260706A detected by SVOM/ECLAIRs (GCN 45089), SVOM/GRM and Fermi-GBM (GCN 45088) and its counterpart detected by EP-FXT (GCN 45097, GCN 45114). The observations started at 20:30:00 UTC on the 6 of July 2026, 4.3 post ECLAIRs T0 with ASTEP and last about 1 day in all the network. We didn't detect any optical counterpart at the EP location (and near by) with GRANDMA, using 0.4m GoT1 telescope of University of Nova Gorica hosted at El Sauce Observatory in Chile, 0.6m TRAPPIST-South, 14" telescope at Franz-Josef Hambsch's Remote Observatory Atacama Dessert (ROAD) in Chile, ASTEP-50cm at Concordia, 1m LCO-SAAO telescope in South Africa with observatory in multiple epochs and filters. We reported our upper limit in the public ACME service Skyportal/ICARE https://skyportal-icare.ijclab.in2p3.fr/source/GCN-260706_161221. To access, one simply needs to create an account using your ORCID id. Our upper limit are coherent with REM (GCN 45100), LCO-1m (GCN 45098), and SVOM/VT (GCN 45113). The data were reduced by a single data processing pipeline, STDPipe (Karpov et al., 2022). Images obtained with the Sloan filters were calibrated using the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog. Images obtained with the Johnson-Cousins filters were calibrated using the Gaia DR3 Synphot catalog. The observations are performed under the P7 campaign of GRANDMA to monitor SVOM alerts and LSST alerts from explosive fast transients filtered by BOOM/Babamul and FINK.

Pillas (IAP) on behalf of the GRANDMA/Kilonova-Catcher collaboration: We observed the field of GRB 260708A detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN 45115; GCN 45124) and Fermi/LAT (Holzmann Airasca et al., GCN 45117) with the GRANDMA citizen science project Kilonova-catcher (KNC). Our observations were performed with a iTtelescope T30 located at Siding Spring Observatory operated by M. Freeberg. Our observations started at TGRB+1.17 days and were taken with the Johnson/Cousins R filter. In our stacked frames, we clearly detect the optical counterpart reported by MASTER (Shilova et al., GCN 45123). We report part of our follow-up results in the table below : | Tmid-TGRB (days) | Exp (s) | Filter | Magnitude | Instrument | | ------------ | ------------ |------------ |------------ |------------ | | 1.18 | 3 x 300s | R (Vega) | 18.93 +/- 0.14 | iT30 | Given the significant fading behavior compared to the previous MASTER epoch, we considered this optical candidate is the optical afterglow of the energetic burst GRB 260708A. Further observations are ongoing. All the data have been reduced by a single data processing pipeline, STDPipe (Karpov et al., 2022). Images obtained with the Johnson-cousins filters were calibrated using the GAIA DR3 synphot catalog.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45126 SUBJECT: GRB 260708A: GECAM-B observation of a burst DATE: 26/07/09 16:35:09 GMT FROM: renyz16607(a)163.com Yang-Zhao Ren, Chen-Wei Wang, Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP) report on behalf of GECAM team: GECAM-B was triggered in-flight by GRB 260708A, at 2026-07-08T10:11:17.650 UTC (denoted as T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #45115), and Fermi/LAT (Fermi LAT team, GCN #45117).

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45125 SUBJECT: IceCube-260708A: One candidate from the Zwicky Transient Facility DATE: 26/07/09 16:21:49 GMT FROM: Robert David Stein at JSI <rdstein(a)umd.edu> Robert Stein (JSI), Tomas Ahumada (Noirlab), Mansi Kasliwal (Caltech), Jesper Sollerman (Stockholm), Cristobal Zilleruelo Cañas (DESY), Jannis Necker (Leiden University), Akshay Eranhalodi (DESY), and Anna Franckowiak (Ruhr University Bochum) report, On behalf of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and Global Relay of Observatories Watching Transients Happen (GROWTH) collaborations: As part of the ZTF neutrino follow up program (Stein et al. 2023), we observed the localization region of the neutrino event IceCube-260708A (Zegarelli et. al, GCN 45120) with the Palomar 48-inch telescope, equipped with the 47 square degree ZTF camera (Bellm et al. 2019, Graham et al. 2019). We started observations in the g- and r-band beginning at 2026-07-09 08:12 UTC, approximately 14.9 hours after event time. We covered 23.8% (0.2 sq deg) of the reported localization region at least twice. This estimate accounts for chip gaps. Each exposure was 300s with a typical depth of 21.0 mag. The images were processed in real-time through the ZTF reduction and image subtraction pipelines at IPAC to search for potential counterparts (Masci et al. 2019). AMPEL (Nordin et al. 2019, Stein et al. 2021) was used to search the alerts database for candidates. We reject stellar sources (Tachibana and Miller 2018) and moving objects, and apply machine learning algorithms (Mahabal et al. 2019) . We are left with the following high-significance transient candidate by our pipeline, lying within the 90.0% localization of the skymap. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ZTF Name | IAU Name | RA (deg) | DEC (deg) | Filter | Mag | MagErr | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ZTF26abfurzw | AT2026kuv | 292.8653948 | -15.1344488 | r | 20.11 | 0.07 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ZTF26abfurzw/AT 2026kuv was discovered by GOTO on 2026-04-20, and reported to TNS. ATLAS forced photometry reveals a lightcurve rising since discovery, later peaking at 17.4 mag at the beginning of May. The source has since slowly faded. The source was detected in our ZTF ToO observations, and the photometry confirms that the source is now very red (g-r = 1) and faded substantially from peak. There were no previous ZTF survey detections, because the source lies in a chip gap for the survey footprint. The photometric properties (rise, fade, and late-time colour) of AT 2026kuv appear consistent with a supernova. Neutrino emission in a post-peak supernova would be plausible if there were CSM interaction in the source. We encourage spectroscopic observations of this source to confirm its nature, and to search for evidence of CSM interaction. Further monitoring of this field will continue as part of the ZTF neutrino follow-up program (Stein et al. 2023), and we are planning additional follow-up of AT 2026kuv. ZTF and GROWTH are worldwide collaborations comprising Caltech/IPAC, USA; University of Maryland, USA; University of California, Berkeley, USA; Cornell University, USA; Drexel University, USA; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA; Institute of Science and Technology, Austria; National Central University, Taiwan; OKC, Sweden; DZA, Germany.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45121 SUBJECT: GRB 260709A: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization DATE: 26/07/09 01:18:22 GMT FROM: Fermi GBM Team at MSFC/Fermi-GBM <do_not_reply(a)GIOC.nsstc.nasa.gov> The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB At 01:07:32 UT on 9 Jul 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260709A (trigger 805252057.543312 / 260709047). The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 84.1, Dec = 74.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 05h 36m, 74d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 4.0 degrees. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 106.0 degrees. The skymap can be found here: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/fermi/data/gbm/triggers/2026/bn260709047/… The HEALPix FITS file, including the estimated localization systematic, can be found here: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/fermi/data/gbm/triggers/2026/bn260709047/… The GBM light curve can be found here: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/fermi/data/gbm/triggers/2026/bn260709047/… View this GCN Circular online at https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/45121. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…

[vsnet-grb-info 43334] IceCube-260708A - IceCube observation of a high-energy neutrino candidate track-like event
by GCN Circulars 08 Jul '26

08 Jul '26

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45120 SUBJECT: IceCube-260708A - IceCube observation of a high-energy neutrino candidate track-like event DATE: 26/07/08 23:09:54 GMT FROM: A. Zegarelli at Ruhr University Bochum <azegarelli(a)icecube.wisc.edu> The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports: On 26-07-08 at 17:17:42.55 UT IceCube detected a track-like event with a high probability of being of astrophysical origin. The event was selected by the ICECUBE_Astrotrack_GOLD alert stream. Documentation regarding the alert streams and their astrophysical purity can be found here: https://gcn.nasa.gov/missions/icecube. This alert has an estimated false alarm rate of 0.1472 events per year due to atmospheric backgrounds. The IceCube detector was in a normal operating state at the time of detection. After the initial automated alert (https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/notices_amon_g_b/142827_7869742.amon) more sophisticated reconstruction algorithms have been applied offline. Some computational anomalies are observed in the primary offline reconstruction algorithm for this event, so the directional reconstruction results from the alternative offline algorithm are included in this event while these anomalies are investigated. With this alternative algorithm, the direction is refined to: Date: 26-07-08 Time: 17:17:42.55 UT RA: 292.81 (+0.48/-0.47 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000 Dec: -15.17 (+0.44/-0.48 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000 As announced in GCN Circular 43419 (https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/43419) IceCube alert notices for high-energy track alerts are now also streamed via Kafka. IceCube Gold/Bronze track alerts are available on the Kafka topic 'gcn.notices.icecube.gold_bronze_track_alerts'. The probability distribution of the true neutrino direction, allowing the extraction of precise 90% containment regions around the best-fit direction, is now available for revised reconstruction of high-energy track alerts. The corresponding sky map is distributed as a FITS file and follows the explicit naming convention IceCube-YYMMDDX, where YYMMDD indicates the date of the event and X is a letter distinguishing multiple alerts on the same day. The download link is provided through the GCN schema distributed via Kafka. Detailed documentation describing the alert distribution, schemas, and probability maps is available at: https://gcn.nasa.gov/missions/icecube. No known gamma-ray sources listed in the Fermi LAT 16-year Source List (FL16Y) are located within the 90% uncertainty region of this event. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica.
