TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43031 SUBJECT: GRB 251206A: SVOM detection of a burst through offline search DATE: 25/12/08 16:55:31 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup@bao.ac.cn> M. Brunet, J.-L. Atteia (IRAP), N. Dagoneau (CEA), report on behalf of the SVOM team: The SVOM/ECLAIRs telescope detected a transient source, labelled GRB 251206A, starting at 2025-12-06T20:48:20.92 UTC (T0), through an offline search with the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station. The burst was detected within several energy ranges and timescales. The best detection is obtained by the Image Trigger (IMT) with a signal-to-noise ratio of 8.5 within 4-20 keV over a time window of 20.48 seconds starting at T0-20.48s. The lightcurve shows an asymmetric double-peaked structure, with a minor peak followed by a major peak, lasting around 20 s. The localization of the source is RA, Dec = 1.843, -4.404 degrees: RA (J2000) = 00h07m22.32s Dec (J2000) = -04d24m16.85s with a 90% C.L. radius of 10.9 arcmin (including systematic error of 6 arcmin added in quadrature). We note that no bright catalogued X-ray sources are found in the error box. The time-averaged spectrum from T0 to T0+20.48s in the energy range 5-120 keV is best fitted by a power law. The powerlaw index is -1.96 -0.15/+0.17. With this model, the total fluence in 4-120 keV is (3.56 +0.28/-0.57)e-7 erg/cm^2. All quoted errors are at the 68% confidence level. The Space 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. ECLAIRs was developed jointly by APC, CEA, CNES, and IRAP.
