The long-duration GRB 250313A (FERMI/GBM: GCN Circular 39703, FERMI/LAT: GCN Circular 39711, AstroSat/CZTI: GCN Circular 39714, SVOM/GRM: GCN Circular 39716, Konus-Wind: GCN Circular 39721, CALET/CGBM: GCN Circular 39725) was observed by the GRBAlpha 1U CubeSat (Pal et al. 2023, A&A, 677, 40; https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023A%26A...677A..40P/abstract).

The detection was confirmed at the peak time 2025-03-13 14:34:41.7 UTC. The T90 duration measured by GRBAlpha is 13 s and the overall significance during T90 reaches 52.3 sigma.

All GRBAlpha detections are listed at: https://monoceros.physics.muni.cz/hea/GRBAlpha/ GRBAlpha, launched on 2021 March 22, is a demonstration mission for a future CubeSat constellation (Werner et al. Proc. SPIE 2018). The detector of GRBAlpha consists of a 75 x 75 x 5 mm3 CsI scintillator read out by a SiPM array, covering the energy range from ~50 keV to ~1000 keV. To increase the duty cycle and the downlink rate, the upgrade of the on-board data acquisition software stack is in progress. The ground segment is also supported by the radio amateur community and it takes advantage of the SatNOGS network for increased data downlink volume.
