TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42163 SUBJECT: GRB 251007B: SVOM/VT optical candidate DATE: 25/10/08 08:36:55 GMT FROM: Huali Li at at NAOC, SVOM <lhl@nao.cas.cn> H. L. Li, L. P. Xin, Y. L. Qiu, C.

Godet report on behalf of the SVOM/VT Instrument Center: SVOM/VT conducted ToO follow-up observations of GRB 251007B (sb25100703) (Melandri et al., GCN 42147; Webb et al., GCN 42148). The observation started on 2025-10-07T21:41:47 UT, 1.98 hours after the burst, in the VT_B (400-650 nm) and VT_R (650-1000 nm) channels simultaneously. Within the error box of enhanced XRT position (Osborne et al., GCN 42159), an uncatalogued source was detected in both channels of VT, compared to the PanSTARRS catalogue. The position is at R.A., Dec. = 102.1329813, -10.3040289 degrees, equivalent to: R.A. (J2000) = 6:48:31.92 Dec. (J2000) = -10:18:14.50 with an uncertainty of 0.5 arcsec. The magnitudes are as follows: Mid_time | Band | Exposure Time | Magnitude (AB) 4.82 hour VT_R 43*70 sec 23.00+/-0.20 mag 4.82 hour VT_B 43*70 sec 23.53+/-0.24 mag Our photometry is in AB magnitude and not corrected for Galactic extinction. 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. VT was jointly developed by Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM), CAS and National astronomical observatories (NAOC),CAS.
