TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44622 SUBJECT: GRB 260515A: SVOM detection of a burst DATE: 26/05/15 19:36:12 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup@bao.ac.cn> M. Brunet, L. Bouchet (IRAP), A. Saccardi (CEA/Irfu), D. Gotz (CEA/Irfu) report on behalf of the SVOM mission team: At 2026-05-15T19:08:19 UTC (T0), SVOM/ECLAIRs triggered and located the gamma-ray burst GRB 260515A (SVOM burst-id sb26051504). 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 17 alerts. CRT provided the alert with the best signal-to-noise-ratio in the image (SNR) of 24.06 in the [5-20] keV energy band over a time window of 10.20 seconds starting at 2026-05-15T19:08:19. The localization of the best alert is R.A., Dec. 227.6800, 24.5706 degrees: R.A. (J2000) = 15h10m43.20s Dec. (J2000) = 24d34m14.13s with a 90% confidence level (C.L.) radius of 3.77 arcmin (including systematic error of 2 arcmin added in quadrature). The SVOM/ECLAIRs light curve showed a single peak structure with a T90 duration of 16.6 +/-1.5 s in the 5-120 keV. This burst was also detected by SVOM/GRM with a significance of 10.2 . SVOM slewed to the burst. MXT and VT began observing the field after the slew. The analysis of the data will be published in a future circular. 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.
