[vsnet-grb-info 42153] EP260316a: Xinglong optical upper limit
by GCN Circulars 16 Mar '26

16 Mar '26
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44032 SUBJECT: EP260316a: Xinglong optical upper limit DATE: 26/03/16 17:46:14 GMT FROM: Xinglong Observatory at National Astronomical Observatories (NAOC), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) <xinglong(a)nao.cas.cn> Junbo-Zhang (NAOC), Junjie-Jin (NAOC), Haiyang-Mu (NAOC), Feng-Xiao (NAOC), Yuguang-Sun (NAOC), Jie-Zheng (NAOC), Dong-Xu (NAOC), Zhou-Fan (NAOC), Hong-Wu (NAOC) report on behalf of a large collaboration: Following the detection of EP260316a by EP-WXT (Jiang et al., GCN 44027), we observed the field of EP260316a using the 2.16-m telescope at Xinglong Observatory, NAOC. We obtained 6x300s clear-band frames with a median time of 2026-03-16 16:18:40 (UT), 3.76 hr after the EP trigger. No uncatalogued optical transient is detected in the stacked images within the 3 arcmin EP/WXT error circle (Jiang et al., GCN 44027), down to 3-sigma limiting magnitudes of g ~22.00 mag, calibrated with Pan-STARRS sources in the field. Also there is no apparent brightening for the catalogued sources within the error circle. We also detected no optical transient candidate with a median time of 2026-03-16T16:37:50.536 (UT) with the 0.8-m Telescope in Xinglong, Hebei, China. The upper limit is ~19.9 mag in the g-band.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44030 SUBJECT: EP260316a: optical upper limit with Kinder observations DATE: 26/03/16 17:12:28 GMT FROM: Janet Chen at National Central University <janetstars(a)gmail.com> M.-H. Lee, A. Aryan, T.-W. Chen, H.-Y. Hsiao (all NCU), A. K. H. Kong (NTHU), J. H. Gillanders, S. J. Smartt (both Oxford), Y. J. Yang (NYUAD), Y.-H. Lee, A. Sankar.K, C.-H. Lai, Y.-C. Pan, C.-C.

Nicholl, M. Fulton, T. Moore, K. W. Smith, C. Angus, A. Aamer (all QUB), A. Schultz, and M. Huber (both IfA, Hawaii) report: We observed the field of the EP260316a (Jiang et al., GCN 44027) using the 1m LOT at the Lulin observatory, as part of the Kinder collaboration (Chen et al. 2025, ApJ, 983, 86, doi:10.3847/1538-4357/adb428). The first LOT epoch of observations in g-band started at 14:11 UTC on 16th of March 2026 (MJD 61115.591), 1.63 hr after the EP-WXT detection. We utilized the astroalign (Beroiz et al. 2020, A&C, 32, 100384) and astropy (Astropy Collaboration et al. 2022, ApJ, 935, 167) packages to align and stack the individual frames. We utilized the Python-based package AutoPhOT (Brennan & Fraser, 2022, A&A, 667, A62) to perform template subtraction with the DESI Legacy Survey (Dey et al. 2019, AJ 157, 168) DR10 image using the 'SFFT' (Hu et al. 2022, ApJ, 936, 157) algorithm. Neither in the stacked nor in the difference image did we detect any signature of a new or uncatalogued source within the EP-FXT localization circle (20"). Moreover, we further used AutoPhOT to perform PSF photometry. The details of the observations and the 3-sigma upper limit (in the AB system) are as follows: Telescope | Filter | MJD (start) | t-t0 (hr) | Exposure (s) | Magnitude| avg. Seeing | Med. Airmass LOT | g | 61115.591 | 1.63 | 300 * 12 | >23.2 | 1".52 | 1.94 The presented magnitudes are calibrated using the field stars from the ATLAS-refcat2 catalog from MAST (Tonry J. L. et al. 2018, ApJ, 867, 105). The reported upper limit is not corrected for an expected galactic extinction of A_r = 0.12 mag in the direction of the transient (Schlafly & Finkbeiner 2011). The methodology, details on the Lulin observatory telescopes, and a compilation of our optical follow-up campaign for FXTs discovered within the first year of operation of the Einstein-Probe mission are presented in Aryan et al. 2025, ApJS, 281, 20, doi:10.3847/1538-4365/adfc69.

[vsnet-grb-info 42150] EP260316a / GRB 260316A : Fermi-GBM Sub-Threshold Detection
by GCN Circulars 16 Mar '26

16 Mar '26
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44029 SUBJECT: EP260316a / GRB 260316A : Fermi-GBM Sub-Threshold Detection DATE: 26/03/16 17:06:07 GMT FROM: mariaedvige.ravasio(a)ru.nl M. E. Ravasio (ICE-CSIC and Radboud Univ.), P.G. Jonker (Radboud Univ.) and E. Burns (LSU), R. Hamburg (USRA), and P. Veres (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi-GBM Team: Fermi-GBM had full spatial and temporal coverage of the transient EP260316a detected by EP-WXT (EP Team GCN 44027). There was no Fermi-GBM onboard trigger around the corrected EP starting time at T0 = 2026-03-16T12:33:13 UTC. The GBM Targeted Search [1], the most sensitive, coherent search for GRB-like signals, was run in the time interval [-50;+500] s from T0, seeking signals between 64 ms and 32.768 s in duration. A faint transient signal was found most significantly at ~T0-3.6 s on a 4 s timescale, with a false alarm rate of 6.5e-05 Hz, although there is evidence of an earlier start of the emission at T0-20 s. The localisation is consistent with the EP one, with a spatial association probability of 98.8%. Among the three spectral templates tested, the transient was best-fit with a“soft” spectral template (Band function with Epeak = 70 keV, alpha = -1.9, beta = -3.7) for a GRB.

16 Mar '26
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44028 SUBJECT: GRB 260314A: Glowbug gamma-ray detection DATE: 26/03/16 16:43:10 GMT FROM: C.C. Cheung at Naval Research Lab <Teddy.Cheung(a)nrl.navy.mil> C.C. Cheung, R. Woolf, M. Kerr, J.E. Grove (NRL), A. Goldstein (USRA), C.A. Wilson-Hodge, D. Kocevski (MSFC), and M.S. Briggs (UAH) report: The Glowbug gamma-ray telescope [1,2,3], operating on the International Space Station, reports the detection of GRB 260314A, which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN 43997) and GECAM-B (GCN 44008). Using an adaptive window with a resolution of 32-ms, the burst onset is determined to be 2026-03-14 00:58:49.312 with a duration of 6.1 s and a total significance of about 16.5 sigma. The detection occurred during a time of high background. The light curve comprises a single peak at ~T0+3s. The analysis results presented here are preliminary and use a response function that lacks a detailed characterization of the surrounding passive structure of the ISS. Glowbug is a NASA-funded technology demonstrator for sensitive, low-cost gamma-ray transient telescopes developed, built, and operated by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) with support from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, USRA, and NASA MSFC. It was launched on 2023 March 15 aboard the Department of Defense Space Test Program’s STP-H9 to the ISS and operated until 2024 April when it was put in safe storage on orbit. Glowbug was removed from storage and resumed operation on 2025 September 12. [1] Grove, J.E. et al. 2020, Proc. Yamada Conf. LXXI, arXiv:2009.11959 [2] Woolf, R.S. et al. 2022, Proc.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44027 SUBJECT: The EP-WXT trigger 00199258890 (EP260316a): a correction to the trigger time and FXT automatic follow-up DATE: 26/03/16 14:23:30 GMT FROM: EP Team at NAOC/CAS <ep_ta(a)bao.ac.cn> S. Q. Jiang (NAO, CAS), B. Zhang, J. P. Feng (USTC), W. D. Zhang (NAO, CAS) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team: The trigger time reported in the notice for EP-WXT alert 00199258890 is incorrect. The correct trigger time is 2026-03-16T12:33:13.451 (UTC), rather than 2026-03-16T20:33:13.451 (UTC). The X-ray transient was detected by the Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) on board the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, designated EP260316a. The transient triggered EP-WXT (ID: 00199258890) at 2026-03-16T12:33:13.451 (UTC). The WXT position of the source is R.A. = 226.983 deg, DEC = 27.466 deg (J2000) with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin in radius (90% C.L. statistical and systematic). A follow-up observation with the Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT) was performed automatically. Within the WXT error circle, an uncatalogued X-ray source was detected at R.A. = 226.9840 deg, DEC = 27.4447 deg (J2000) with an uncertainty of 20 arcsec in radius (90% C.L. statistical and systematic). Further information will be updated when the telemetry data is received. 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).

We observed from 2026-03-16 06:23:48 to 09:13:24 UTC (from 28 to 30.9 hours after the trigger) and obtained 63 minutes of exposure in the g, r filters, and 126 minutes in the z filter. The data were reduced, coadded and analyzed with the COLIBRÍ ASU 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 optical counterpart candidate AT 2026fpm reported by Segura et al., GCN Circ. 44023, at a preliminary magnitude of: g = 19.94 +/- 0.01 r = 19.69 +/- 0.01 z = 19.66 +/- 0.01 The optical counterpart candidate lies on top of a catalogued source in the Legacy Survey with magnitudes of: g = 21.04 r = 20.59 z = 20.48 However, this LS source is flagged as variable. We also note that it is found in PS1 at a much fainter level. This would indicate that AT 2026 fpm is a known variable source. We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional at Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, as well as the technical and engineering teams at CEA, CPPM, IRAP, LAM, OHP, OSU Pytheas, and UNAM. 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.
