TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40595 SUBJECT: EP#01709177494: SVOM/VT optical observations DATE: 25/06/01 00:30:31 GMT FROM: Liping Xin at NAOC, SVOM <xlp(a)nao.cas.cn> L. P. Xin, Y. L. Qiu, H. L. Li, C. Wu, Z. H. Yao, Y. N. Ma, X. H. Han, J. Wang, Y. Liu report on behalf of the SVOM and EP mission teams: SVOM performed a Target of Opportunity observation of he EP-WXT trigger Einstein Probe/WXT-detected source EP#01709177494 (Wu et al., ATEL #17212). SVOM/VT began observing the field at 2025-05-31T02:37:05 UTC, 50.7 min after the trigger in the VT_B (400nm-650nm) and VT_R (650nm-1000nm) channels simultaneously. The exposure time for each frame is 70 seconds. A cataloged source was identified during the outburst in VT_B and VT_R band images during our 2 orbit observations, compared to the DSS catalog. The position is RA=257.37661 deg, DEC=-26.65560 deg, corresponding to RA(J2000) = 17:09:30.39 DEC(J2000) = -26:39:20.15 Error = 0.5 arcseconds, The position is consistent with the location of XRT Source 1 (SWIFT J170930.3-263917) (Evens et al., GCN 40592). Preliminary analysis shows that the brightness of the source was VT_B=19.44+/-0.05 and VT_R=18.81+/-0.05, respectively. The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. VT was jointly developed by Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM), CAS and National astronomical observatories (NAOC),CAS.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40591 SUBJECT: GRB 250530C: BOOTES-7 optical upper limit DATE: 25/05/31 17:31:45 GMT FROM: I. Perez-Garcia at Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia <ipg(a)iaa.es> I.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40590 SUBJECT: GRB 250521C/ZTF25aarhkyn/AT2025mgj: COLIBRÍ optical observations DATE: 25/05/31 15:39:50 GMT FROM: Rosa L. Becerra at Tor Vergata, Roma <rosa.becerra(a)roma2.infn.it> Rosa L. Becerra (U Roma), Alan M. Watson (UNAM), Francis Fortin (IRAP), Stéphane Basa (UAR Pytheas), William H. Lee (UNAM), Jean-Luc Atteia (IRAP), Fredd Alvarez (UNAM), Dalya Akl (AUS), Camila Angulo (UNAM), Sarah Antier (OCA), Nathaniel R.

We observed from 2025-05-31 03:33 to 04:32 UTC, after 9.6 days after the trigger of GRB 250521C (Fermi GBM team, GCN 40515) and obtained 16 minutes of exposure in each of the g, r and i filters. The data were reduced and stacked using the COLIBRÍ pipeline. 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 candidate ZTF25aarhkyn/AT2025mgj (Andreoni et al., GCN Circ. 40566), at preliminary magnitudes of: g = 19.34 +/- 0.03 r = 19.46 +/- 0.03 i = 19.50 +/- 0.05 Compared with the NOT observations reported by Martin-Carrillo et al. (GCN Circ. 40584), we estimate a steeper temporal decay index of ~1.5. The measured colours are consistent with those typically observed in GRBs, suggesting a similar nature. Additionally, the temporal evolution may indicate that AT2025mgj is a possible off-axis GRB; however, the absence of a nearby galaxy makes this scenario unlikely. Further observations are planned in order to unravel the nature of this object. 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: 40589 SUBJECT: GRB 250530C: Swift-XRT refined Analysis DATE: 25/05/31 11:31:46 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9(a)star.le.ac.uk> M.A. Williams (PSU), J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester), K.L. Page (U. Leicester), A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester), M. Ferro (INAF-OAB), R. Brivio (INAF-OAB), A. D'Ai (INAF-IASFPA), S. Dichiara (PSU), J.A. Kennea (PSU) and P.A. Evans report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 7.7 ks of XRT data for GRB 250530C, from 90 s to 52.0 ks after the trigger. The data comprise 9 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode (taken while Swift was slewing), with the remainder in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=0.80 (+/-0.04). A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.55 (+0.20, -0.19). The best-fitting absorption column is 2.8 (+1.1, -0.9) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 1.7 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 5.0 x 10^-11 (6.1 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 2.8 (+1.1, -0.9) x 10^21 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 1.7 x 10^20 cm^-2 Excess significance: 4.7 sigma Photon index: 1.55 (+0.20, -0.19) If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 0.80, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 0.012 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 6.0 x 10^-13 (7.3 x 10^-13) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

[vsnet-grb-info 38623] GRB 250530A: TNG detection of a NIR source inside the Swift/XRT error circle

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40588 SUBJECT: GRB 250530A: TNG detection of a NIR source inside the Swift/XRT error circle DATE: 25/05/31 09:10:56 GMT FROM: Paolo D'Avanzo at INAF - OAB <paolo.davanzo(a)inaf.it> P. D'Avanzo, (INAF-OAB), A. Melandri (INAF-OAR), L. Izzo (INAF - OACn), M. G. Bernardini (INAF-OAB & LUPM), R. Brivio, M. Ferro (INAF-OAB), M. Pedani (INAF-TNG) on behalf of the CIBO collaboration report: We observed the field of the GRB 250530A detected by SVOM (Wang et al., GCN Circ. 40576) with the Italian 3.6m TNG telescope, located in Canary Islands (Spain), equipped with the near-infrared camera NICS in imaging mode. A series of images were obtained with the J filters starting on 2025-05-30T20:57:35 UT (i.e. 14.4 hours post T0). Within the refined Swift/XRT error circle (Evans et al., GCN Circ. 40579; see also: https://www.swift.ac.uk/SVOM/SVOM_FIELD00017/Source1.php) a faint object is detected in the co-added image at the following coordinates: RA (J2000) = 12:26:50.53 Dec (J2000) = -02:34:32.0 +/- 0.3" We note that these coordinates are consistent (within 0.4") with those of a catalogue source reported in the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey (Duncan et al., 2022, MNRAS, 512, 366). From preliminary photometry, we estimate for this source J ~ 21.0 mag (Vega; calibrated against the 2MASS catalogue). This research has made use of the VizieR catalogue access tool, CDS, Strasbourg, France (DOI : 10.26093/cds/vizier). The original description of the VizieR service was published in 2000, A&AS 143, 23.
