TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43440 SUBJECT: GRB 260117A: SVOM/C-GFT upper limit DATE: 26/01/18 05:54:34 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup@bao.ac.cn> C. Wu (NAOC), Z. Kang (CHO), L.P. Xin, X.H. Han, P.P.

Adrien(CEA/Irfu) report on behalf of the SVOM/C-GFT team: We observed the field of GRB 260117A (SVOM trigger: sb26011705) detected by SVOM/ECLAIRs (Palmerio et al., GCN 43437) with LATIOS on SVOM/C-GFT. Observations started at 2026-01-17T19:44:47 UTC, ~82 seconds after the trigger. We obtained g, r, and i-band follow-up imaging. After preliminary analysis，no credible candidate was detected within the error box provided by EP/FXT and Swift/XRT (Evans et al., GCN 43438; Salvaggio et al., GCN 43439) in our images. The 3-upper limits in the early phase are: | Mid_t - T0 (min) | Exposure Time (s) | Band | Upper Limit (AB) | |-----------------|-------------------|------|------------------| | 4.6 | 5×10 | i | 18.5 | | 14.1 | 10×30 | g | 19.7 | The photometry was calibrated against UCAC4 catalogue and no correction for Galactic dust extinction was applied. We thank the observation assistants Bo-Wen Li and Hong-Xv Xue at Jilin observatory for their excellent support. The Chinese Ground Follow-up Telescope (C-GFT) for the SVOM mission is located at Jilin Station, Changchun Observatory, National Astronomical Observatories, CAS. It features two instruments: (1) CATCH at the Cassegrain focus with a 21 arcsec x 21 arcsec FOV for simultaneous g/r/i-band imaging, and (2) LATIOS, a 4k x 4k CMOS camera at the prime focus with a 1.28 deg x 1.28 deg FOV that images in g, r, and i bands via filter switching.
