We imaged the field of the SVOM GRB 250831A (W.J. Xie et al., GCN Circ. 41614) using the DDRAGO wide-field imager on the SVOM/COLIBRÍ (FM-GFT) telescope. We observed from 2025-08-31T09:37:56 to 2025-08-31T11:43:45 UTC (from 8.4 to 134.2 minutes after the trigger) and obtained 88 minutes of exposure in the i and z filters.
The data were reduced and coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and analyzed with STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025). The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
In the stacked image, we do not detect any new source at the MXT source position (W.J. Xie et al., GCN Circ. 41614) down to the following 5-sigma limit:
i > 23.5
We notice the presence of a bright star, G 272-61, within the MXT field of view (position in agreement with a proper motion of approximately 3.3 arcsec / year).
We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir and the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams.
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.
