TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42222 SUBJECT: GRB 251013C: SVOM detection of a burst DATE: 25/10/13 18:17:34 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup@bao.ac.cn> N. A. Rakotondrainibe, C. Adami (LAM), D. Turpin, D. Götz (CEA/Irfu), H. Yang (IRAP) At 2025-10-13T17:39:42 UTC (T0), SVOM/ECLAIRs triggered and located the gamma-ray burst GRB 251013C (SVOM burst-id sb25101311) also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team GCN 42221). The following trigger information was received on the ground with low latency by the SVOM VHF Alert Network. The burst was detected both by the Count-Rate Trigger (CRT) and the Image Trigger (IMT), which produced a sequence of 16 alerts. CRT provided the alert with the best signal-to-noise-ratio in the image (SNR) of 35.62 in the [8-120] keV energy band over a time window of 10.24 seconds starting at 2025-10-13T17:39:42. The SVOM/ECLAIRs light curve showed a single peak structure of a T90 duration of 17.1 (+6.9/-1.5) s. The localization of the best alert is R.A., Dec. 345.8809, -0.1698 degrees (J2000) with a 90% confidence level (C.L.) radius of 2.94 arcmin (including systematic error of 2 arcmin added in quadrature). This burst also triggered SVOM/GRM at 2025-10-13T17:39:43 on a timescale of 18 seconds with an SNR of 11. SVOM slewed to the burst. SVOM/MXT began observing the field at 2025-10-13T17:43:05 UTC, 203 seconds after T0. Using onboard processed data we found an uncatalogued X-ray source located at R.A., Dec. 345.8301, -0.2207 degrees: R.A. (J2000) = 23h03m19s Dec. (J2000) = -0d13m14s with a 90% C.L. radius of 69 arcseconds. This location is 4.31 arcminutes from the ECLAIRs onboard position. This position may be improved as more data is received. VT began observing the field after the slew. The analysis of the data will be published in a future circular. 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. SVOM/ECLAIRs was developed jointly by CNES, CEA-IRFU, CNRS-IRAP, CNRS-APC. SVOM/GRM was developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS. SVOM/MXT was developed jointly by CNES, CEA-IRFU, CNRS-IJCLab, University of Leicester, MPE.
