TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44465 SUBJECT: GRB 260503A: SVOM/GRM observation of a GRB DATE: 26/05/05 03:08:00 GMT FROM: Xinghao Luo at IHEP <2952704891@qq.com> SVOM/GRM team: Xing-Hao Luo, Chen-Wei Wang, Yue Huang, Shi-Jie Zheng, Shao-Lin Xiong, Shuang-Nan Zhang (IHEP) SVOM/ECLAIRs team: Marius Brunet (IRAP) Report on behalf of the SVOM team: SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by GRB 260503A (SVOM trigger reference: sb26050309) at 2026-05-03T20:40:20.000 UTC (T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #44451). With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of multiple pulses with a T90 of 21 +7/-3 s in the 15-5000 keV band. The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb260503A.png In addition, the position of this burst, as determined by Fermi/GBM (RA=287.1 , DEC=-2.0, with a statistical uncertainty of 2.6 degrees, Fermi GBM team, GCN #44451), is located at about 87 degrees form the SVOM optical axis, which is outside the ECLAIRs field of view. With this localization, the time-averaged spectrum from T0-3 to T0+17 s is best fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.12 +0.17/-0.16 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 128 +21/-15 keV. The event fluence (10-1000keV) in this time interval is (6.65 +0.53/-0.46)E-06 erg/cm^2. The localization of GRB 260503A in the 'Amati' relation diagram is shown at: https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb260503A_amati.png The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. GRM is developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.
