report on behalf of the SVOM team:
During the commissioning phase, the SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by GRB 240926A (SVOM trigger reference: sb24092601) at 2024-09-26T11:42:45.000 UT (T0).
The real-time alert data and light curves of SVOM/GRM were downlinked to the ground through the VHF system with low latency. The light curves show that this burst consists of multiple pulses with a T90 of 55.54 s -0.39/+0.48 s.
The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb240926A.png
The SVOM/GRM on-ground localization of this burst is (J2000): RA: 241.92 deg DEC: 40.31 deg Error: 3.78 deg (1 sigma, statistical only) We caution that the calibration of SVOM/GRM is undergoing and this localization is subject to systematic errors. The localization may be improved in the refined analysis.
At the time of the burst ECLAIRs was not in operational mode.
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. GRM is developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.
