TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44515 SUBJECT: GRB 260510B: SVOM detection of a burst DATE: 26/05/10 12:49:03 GMT FROM: SVOM_group <svomgroup@bao.ac.cn> A. Saccardi (CEA/Irfu), B. Cordier (CEA/Irfu), N. Dagoneau (CEA/Irfu), Li. Zhang(IHEP), Y. H. Cheng (SWIFAR, YNU), report on behalf of the SVOM mission team: At 2026-05-10T12:19:20 UTC (T0), SVOM/ECLAIRs triggered and located the gamma-ray burst GRB 260510B (SVOM burst-id sb26051001). 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 11 alerts. CRT provided the alert with the best signal-to-noise-ratio in the image (SNR) of 9.71 in the [8-50] keV energy band over a time window of 10.20 seconds starting at 2026-05-10T12:19:15. The localization of the best alert is R.A., Dec. 173.2168, -34.5756 degrees: R.A. (J2000) = 11h32m52.04s Dec. (J2000) = -34d34m32.07s with a 90% confidence level (C.L.) radius of 8.18 arcmin (including systematic error of 2 arcmin added in quadrature). This burst was also detected by SVOM/GRM with a significance of 7.40. SVOM slewed to the burst. MXT and VT began observing the field after the slew. The analysis of the data will be published in future circulars. 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.
