TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42269 SUBJECT: GRB 251013C: Osservatorio Astronomico "Nastro Verde" optical observations: detection of an bright optical counterpart DATE: 25/10/14 20:51:20 GMT FROM: Nello Ruocco at Osservatorio Nastro Verde - Sorrento (Naples) - Italy - MPC Code C82 <osservatorionastroverde@gmail.com> Nello Ruocco at Osservatorio Nastro Verde - Sorrento (Naples) - Italy in a large collaboration with: M.G. Dainotti (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan), Y. Niino (Tokyo University, Institute of Astronomy) and K. Kalinowski (Aarhus University, Department of Physics and Astronomy) report: Following the circular GCN 42222, in which N. A. Rakotondrainibe, C. Adami (LAM), D. Turpin, D. Götz (CEA/Irfu), H. Yang (IRAP), in which 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, I pointed at the coordinates RA(J2000)=23h 03m 22s: Dec(J2000)=-00d 12' 37" and started my observations with telescope of Nastro Verde Observatory - Sorrento (Naples), Italy. Member of: AAVSO - American Association of Variable Star Observers. GRB/UAI Gamma Ray Burst Section of Unione Astrofili Italiani. The observations started at 20:04:39 UT of 2025/10/13, after about 3.30 hours after the GRB trigger, with clear sky, with principal telescope SC 0.35 f/10 with focal reduced + CCD Sbig ST10 XME, using the V and Rc photometric filters. I took 20 unfiltered images of 60 sec in each filter. The images were added in groups of five to obtain a higher S/N Start End 20:04:39 UT 20:56:46 UT All images, calibrated with masterdark and masterflat have been measured with Maxim DL software I have detected a bright source at the enhanced position reported by GCNs (Konno et al.
