TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40872 SUBJECT: GRB 250627A: Insight-HXMT detection DATE: 25/06/29 15:49:05 GMT FROM: Chenwei Wang at IHEP cwwang@ihep.ac.cn
Chen-Wei Wang, Shao-Lin Xiong, and Chao Zheng report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:
At 2025-06-27T16:46:23 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected the short burst GRB 250627A, which is also detected by SVOM/GRM (Wang et al., GCN #40871). The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of a single pulse with a T90 of 0.9 +0.1/-0.2 s. The 1s peak rate, measured from T0+0.175 s, is 7839 cnts/sec. The total counts from this burst is 8292 counts.

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the regular mode with the energy range of about 60-900 keV (deposited energy). Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside of the telescope.
Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). More information about it could be found at: http://www.hxmt.org.
