[vsnet-grb-info 43256] GRB 260619A: SVOM/ECLAIRs refined analysis
by GCN Circulars 24 Jun '26

24 Jun '26
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45041 SUBJECT: GRB 260619A: SVOM/ECLAIRs refined analysis DATE: 26/06/24 20:31:19 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup(a)bao.ac.cn> Nicolas Dagoneau (CEA), Marius Brunet (IRAP), Wenjin Xie (NAOC) Using the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, we report further analysis of ECLAIRs observations of GRB 260619A (SVOM burst-id sb26061901). The burst that triggered ECLAIRs onboard (GCN 44985) consists of a faint single peak lightcurve with a duration of about 40 sec in the 8-50 keV energy band. The time-averaged spectrum (from T0-40.96 s to T0) in the energy range 5-120 keV is best fit by a blackbody model with a temperature kT = 6.6 -1.3/+1.6 keV. With this model, the 4-120 keV fluence is (2.03 +/- 0.63)*E-7 erg/cm² and the 4-120 keV photon flux is (2.02 +/- 0.33)*E-1 ph/cm²/s. All the quoted errors are at the 68% confidence level. The Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA), French Space Agency (CNES), and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45040 SUBJECT: EP260623a: Liverpool Telescope optical observations DATE: 26/06/24 17:59:07 GMT FROM: A. Bochenek at Liverpool John Moores University <a.m.bochenek(a)2023.ljmu.ac.uk> A. Bochenek, D. A. Perley (LJMU), report: We observed the field of EP260623a (Waang et al., GCN 45020; Wang et al., GCN 45035) using the IO:O optical camera on the 2m robotic Liverpool Telescope. We obtained 6x120s exposures in SDSS griz filters, starting at 2026-06-24 01:15:57 UT, approximately 22.4 hours after EP trigger. Multiple exposures across all filters had to be discarded prior to stacking due to an issue with the telescope rotator. We detect a source in the images in all filters at the position reported by Li et al. (GCN 45021), also Izzo et al. (GCN 45022); Angulo et al. (GCN 45024); Brivio et al. (GCN 45025); Jiang et al. (GCN 45026); Li et al. (GCN 45027); Jelinek et al. (GCN 45029); Lee et al. (GCN 45030); Saikia et al. (GCN 45034). The preliminary photometry is: | MJD (mid) | T_mid-T_0 | Filter | Mag. (AB) | |---------------|-------------|-----------|---------------| | 61215.05694 | 22.49 h | g | > 21.44 | | 61215.06840 | 22.76 h | r | 21.96 ± 0.23 | | 61215.08921 | 23.26 h | i | 21.59 ± 0.13 | | 61215.09872 | 23.50 h | z | 21.06 ± 0.16 | The photometry is in the AB magnitude system, was calibrated using nearby PanSTARRS secondary standards and was not corrected for extinction.

[vsnet-grb-info 43253] Konus-Wind detection of GRB 260618B
by GCN Circulars 24 Jun '26

24 Jun '26
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45038 SUBJECT: Konus-Wind detection of GRB 260618B DATE: 26/06/24 17:14:43 GMT FROM: Anna Ridnaia at Ioffe Institute <ridnaia(a)mail.ioffe.ru> A. Ridnaia, D. Frederiks, A. Lysenko, D. Svinkin, A. Tsvetkova, M. Ulanov, and T. Cline, on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report: The long-duration GRB 260618B (Fermi-GBM detection: Fermi GBM team, GCN 44979; Veres & Meegan, GCN 45010; Fermi-LAT detection: Gupta et al., GCN 44983) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=60907.637 s UT (16:55:07.637). The burst light curve shows a multipeaked structure which starts at ~T0-1.6 s and has a total duration of ~61.2 s. The emission is seen up to ~4 MeV. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB260618_T60907/ As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had the total fluence of 2.26(-0.34,+0.43)x10^-5 erg/cm2, and the 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.378 s, of 4.90(-0.98,+1.01)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-averaged spectrum of the burst (measured from T0 to T0+57.600 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep) with alpha = -0.83(-0.16,+0.19) and Ep = 1066(-241,+365) keV (chi2 = 94/98 dof). Fitting by a GRB (Band) model yields the same alpha and Ep, and an upper limit on the high energy photon index: beta < -2.7 (chi2 = 94/97 dof). The spectrum near the maximum count rate (measured from T0 to T0+8.448 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep) with alpha = -0.39(-0.14,+0.15) and Ep = 817(-97,+119) keV (chi2 = 96/88 dof). Fitting by a GRB (Band) model yields the same alpha and Ep, and an upper limit on the high energy photon index: beta < -3.2 (chi2 = 96/87 dof). All the quoted errors are at the 68% confidence level. All the quoted values are preliminary.

[vsnet-grb-info 43250] EP260623a:refined analysis of the EP-WXT and EP-FXT observation
by GCN Circulars 24 Jun '26

24 Jun '26
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45035 SUBJECT: EP260623a:refined analysis of the EP-WXT and EP-FXT observation DATE: 26/06/24 09:06:30 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta(a)bao.ac.cn> B.T. Wang (YNAO, CAS), Y. L. Hua (PMO, CAS) and C. C. Jin (NAO, CAS) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: The fast X-ray transient EP260623a triggered the Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) on board the Einstein Probe (EP) mission (Wang et al., GCN 45020) and followed by several optical telescopes (Li et al., GCN 45021; Angulo et al., GCN 45024; Brivio et al., GCN 45025; Jiang et al., GCN 45026; Li et al., GCN 45027; Jelinek et al., GCN 45029; Lee et al., GCN 45030; Saikia et al., GCN 45034) with the redshift confirmed at z=0.703 (Izzo et al., GCN 45022). The refined analysis of the WXT data shows that the event started at T0=2026-06-23T02:52:27Z (UTC) and lasted for 103 s before the observation was interrupted by the autonomous follow-up observation. The average WXT 0.5–4 keV spectrum can be fitted with an absorbed power-law model (tbabs*ztbabs*powerlaw) with a fixed Galactic hydrogen column density of 8.1 × 10^20 cm^-2 and a fixed redshift of z = 0.703. The best-fit photon index is 1.83 (-0.56/+0.63), and the intrinsic hydrogen column density is 2.25 (-0.97/+1.21) × 10^22 cm^-2. The derived average unabsorbed 0.5–4 keV flux is 3.17 (-0.74/+1.39) × 10^-9 erg/s/cm^2. The estimated peak flux is 1.0 × 10^-8 erg/s/cm^2, corresponding to a peak luminosity of 2.2 × 10^49 erg/s. The autonomous observation by the Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT) was performed at 2026-06-23T02:56:08 (UTC), about 3.7 minutes after T0. The exposure time of this observation is 3211 s. The on-ground analysis shows that an uncatalogued source was detected at R.A., Dec. = 328.2698, 12.7938 deg (J2000) with an uncertainty of about 10 arcsec (radius, 90% C.L. statistical and systematic). The FXT light curve displays two pulses structure lasting for around 210 s. The average FXT 0.5-10 keV spectrum can be fitted with an absorbed power law with a fixed Galactic equivalent hydrogen column density of 8.1 × 10^20 cm^-2 and a photon index of 1.96 (-/+ 0.03), and the intrinsic hydrogen column density is 0.94 (-/+ 0.04) × 10^22 cm^-2. The derived average unabsorbed 0.5-10 keV flux is 7.33 (-/+ 0.10) × 10^-9 erg/s/cm^2. The uncertainties are at the 90% confidence level for the above parameters. 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).
