TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45089 SUBJECT: GRB 260706A: SVOM detection of a burst DATE: 26/07/06 16:50:02 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup@bao.ac.cn> J. Alaux, M. Brunet, S. Guillot, M. Boiziot (IRAP), F. Daigne, M. Pillas (IAP) report on behalf of the SVOM mission team: At 2026-07-06T16:12:23 UTC (T0), SVOM/ECLAIRs triggered and located the gamma-ray burst GRB 260706A (SVOM burst-id sb26070606), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN 45088). 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 19 alerts. IMT provided the alert with the best signal-to-noise-ratio in the image (SNR) of 31.31 in the [8-120] keV energy band over a time window of 20.48 seconds starting at 2026-07-06T16:12:20. The localization of the best alert is R.A., Dec. 33.8323, -49.1375 degrees: R.A. (J2000) = 2h15m19.75s Dec. (J2000) = -49d08m15.14s with a 90% confidence level (C.L.) radius of 3.17 arcmin (including systematic error of 2 arcmin added in quadrature). The SVOM/ECLAIRs light curve showed a multiple peak structure. This burst also triggered SVOM/GRM at 2026-07-06T16:12:21 on a timescale of 1 second with an SNR of 9.50. The SVOM/GRM light curve showed a multiple peak structure with a T90 duration of about 22.9 -3.8/+10.5 seconds. SVOM slewed to the burst. No X-ray observation could be performed by SVOM/MXT for the time being. No optical observation could be performed by SVOM/VT for the time being. 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. The Burst Advocate (BA) on shift for this alert is Frédéric Daigne: daigne@iap.fr.
