Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 37859 SUBJECT: GRB 241025A: Swift detection of a burst with an optical counterpart DATE: 24/10/25 01:46:15 GMT FROM: David Palmer at LANL E. Ambrosi (INAF-IASFPA), A. D'Ai (INAF-IASFPA), V. D'Elia (SSDC & INAF-OAR), R. Gupta (NASA GSFC), J. A. Kennea (PSU), D. M. Palmer (LANL), T. M. Parsotan (GSFC) and B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 01:36:50 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 241025A (trigger=1262165). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 333.330, +83.566 which is RA(J2000) = 22h 13m 19s Dec(J2000) = +83d 33' 59" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a complex structure with a duration of about 180 sec. The peak count rate was ~1800 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~2 sec after the trigger. The XRT began observing the field at 01:38:46.2 UT, 115.7 seconds after the BAT trigger. XRT found a bright, uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 333.6488, 83.5739 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 22h 14m 35.71s Dec(J2000) = +83d 34' 26.0" with an uncertainty of 4.8 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 131 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT error circle. No event data are yet available to determine the column density using X-ray spectroscopy. UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter starting 125 seconds after the BAT trigger. There is a candidate afterglow in the rapidly available 2.7'x2.7' sub-image at RA(J2000) = 22:14:36.91 = 333.65379 DEC(J2000) = +83:34:32.3 = 83.57565 with a 90%-confidence error radius of about 0.62 arc sec. This position is 6.6 arc sec. from the center of the XRT error circle. The estimated magnitude is 17.56 with a 1-sigma error of about 0.14. No correction has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.249. Burst Advocate for this burst is E. Ambrosi (elena.ambrosi AT inaf.it). Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information regarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after trying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see Swift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/)

Li (NAO, CAS), Z. Y. Liu, M. Q. Huang (USTC), J. Q. Peng (IHEP, CAS), C. C. Jin (NAO, CAS) report on behalf of the Eintein Probe team: We report on the detection of an X-ray transient detected by EP-WXT, EP241025a, which triggered the on-board processing unit at 2024-10-25T01:36:45 (UTC) (trigger ID: 01709111485). The trigger flux is estimated to be around 2e-10 erg/s/cm2 in 0.5-4 keV, assuming a spectral shape of absorbed power-law with a photon index of 2. An autonomous observation on the X-ray transient was performed by the EP-FXT about 3 minutes later, which also detected an X-ray source at R.A. = 333.6408 deg, DEC = 83.5772 deg (J2000) with an uncertainty of about 10 arcsecs (radius, 90% C.L. statistical and systematic), consistent with the position of the WXT transient within the uncertainties. The source flux is estimated to be around 5e-11 erg/s/cm2. We note that the trigger time and position of this X-ray transient are consistent with that of GRB 241025A (Swift GCN 37859, Fermi GBM GCN 37860, SVOM/GRM GCN 37863). Launched on January 9, 2024, EP is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability (Yuan et al. 2022, Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics).

Gobold (UH) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We have observed the optical counterpart (Ambrosi et al., GCN#37859; Jiang et al., GCN#37862) of GRB 241025A (Ambrosi et al., GCN#37859; Fermi GBM team, GCN#37860; Wang et al., GCN#37863; Li et al., GCN 37864), using the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) equipped with the ALFOSC spectrograph. Grism #4 was used, covering the wavelength range 3650-9500 AA. Four spectra of 1200 s exposure time each have been obtained, with the first sequence starting at 02:07:32 UT on 2024-10-25, i.e., 0.51 hr after the Swift trigger. Preliminary analysis of the data reveals a bright continuum in the red part of the spectrum, with a clear break around 6310 AA, which we interpret as due to Lyman alpha. We also identify the Lyman limit, the Lyman forest, and several metal absorption features, interpreted as due to Si II, Si IV, O I, C II, C IV, Fe II and Al II, all at a common redshift of z = 4.20.

Huang (USTC), J. Q. Peng (IHEP, CAS), C. C. Jin (NAO, CAS) report on behalf of the Einstein Probe team: The preliminary analysis of the telemetry EP-WXT data shows that the bright transient EP241025a (GRB 241025A, Swift GCN 37859, Fermi GBM GCN 37860, SVOM/GRM GCN 37863, EP GCN 37864) began at (T0) 2024-10-25T01:35:29 (UTC), and lasted for around 300 seconds, with the peak flux in 0.5-4.0 keV to be around 1e-8 erg/s/cm2. The EP-FXT autonomous observation began at T0+3min and caught the latter half of the bright transient, followed by lasting fainter emission. The ground calculated EP-FXT position is RA=333.6550 deg, DEC=83.5750 deg (J2000), with an uncertainty of 10 arcsecs (radius, 90% C.L. statistical and systematic), which is consistent with the enhanced XRT position (GCN 37868). The averaged EP-FXT spectrum can be fitted with an absorbed powerlaw, with a photon index of (1.41 +/- 0.09), and an absorption of NH= (2.2 +/- 0.4) e21 cm^(-2). The derived average unabsorbed flux in 0.5-4.0 keV is (1.6 +/- 0.7) e-10 erg/s/cm2. All the errors of the parameters quoted are at 90% C.L. Please note that the temporal and spectral analyses presented above are preliminary. The final results will be presented in future publications. EP-FXT will also keep monitoring this transient in the following days. Launched on January 9, 2024, EP is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability (Yuan et al. 2022, Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics).

D'Elia et al. 2024, GCN 37859) and Einstein Probe (D.Y. Li et al. 2024, GCN 37864) The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift BAT position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 47 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of multiple close peaks with a duration (T90) of about 124 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0+2.3 to T0+125.2 s is best fit by a Band function. The power law index is -0.93 +/- 0.06 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 235 +/- 22 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.46 +/- 0.06)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+46 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 3 +/- 0.2 ph/s/cm^2. A power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff fits the spectrum equally well. The power law index is -0.92 +/- 0.05 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 232 +/- 18 keV. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/fermi/fermigbrst.html For Fermi GBM data and info, please visit the official Fermi GBM Support Page: https://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/gbm/"

Sbarrato (INAF-OAB), P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), M.G. Bernardini (INAF-OAB), S. Dichiara (PSU), J.A. Kennea (PSU), D.N. Burrows (PSU), A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester) and P.A. Evans report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 6.8 ks of XRT data for GRB 241025A, from 109 s to 80.1 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 321 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode (the first 4 s were taken while Swift was slewing) with the remainder in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The light curve can be modelled with a series of power-law decays. The initial decay index is alpha=8.0 (+0.0, -0.5). At T+126 s the decay flattens to an alpha of 3.15 (+0.20, -0.21) before breaking again at T+221 s to a final decay with index alpha=1.071 (+0.026, -0.025). A spectrum formed from the WT mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.77 (+/-0.05). The best-fitting absorption column is 3.6 (+/-1.1) x 10^22 cm^-2, at a redshift of 4.2, in addition to the Galactic value of 1.2 x 10^21 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The PC mode spectrum has a photon index of 1.68 (+/-0.12) and a best-fitting absorption column of 2.4 (+2.4, -2.1) x 10^22 cm^-2. The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 4.3 x 10^-11 (5.1 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Galactic foreground: 1.2 x 10^21 cm^-2 Intrinsic column: 2.4 (+2.4, -2.1) x 10^22 cm^-2 at z=4.2 Photon index: 1.68 (+/-0.12) The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis are available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/01262165.

Lysenko, A. Ridnaia, A. Tsvetkova, M. Ulanov, and T. Cline, on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report: The long-duration GRB 241025A (Swift-BAT detection: Ambrosi et al., GCN 37859; Fermi-GBM detection: Fermi GBM team, GCN 37860; Godwin, GCN 37886; SVOM-GRM detection: Wang et al., GCN 37863; EP-WXT detection: Li et al., GCN 37864) was detected by Konus-Wind (KW) in the waiting mode at T0~5786 s UT (01:36:26). A Bayesian block analysis of the KW waiting mode data in the 20-300 keV band reveals a >20 sigma count rate increase in the interval from T0-13 s to ~T0+128 s. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB241025A/ The total burst fluence is 1.58(-0.14,+0.14)x10^-5 erg/cm^2, and the 2.944 s peak energy flux, measured from T0+0.143 s, is 4.5(-0.5,+0.5)x10^-7 erg/cm^2. (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-integrated spectrum of the burst, measured from T0-13 s to T0+128 s, can be described by a power law with exponential cutoff (CPL) model dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep) with alpha = -0.85(-0.13,+0.15) and Ep = 238(-33,+38) keV. The spectrum near the peak count rate, measured from T0+12 s to T0+30 s, can be described by a CPL model with alpha = -0.04(-0.17,+0.20) and Ep = 261(-23,+24) keV. Assuming the redshift z=4.20 (Xu et al., GCN 37866) and a standard cosmology with H_0 = 67.3 km/s/Mpc, Omega_M = 0.315, and Omega_Lambda = 0.685 (Planck Collaboration, 2014), we estimate the following rest-frame parameters: the isotropic energy release E_iso is (5.5+/-0.5)x10^53 erg, the peak luminosity L_iso is (8.2+/-0.9)x10^52 erg/s, the rest-frame peak energy of the time-averaged spectrum Ep,i,z is (1238+/-182) keV, and the spectrum near the maximum count rate Ep,p,z is (1357+/-120) keV. With the obtained estimates, GRB 241025A is inside 68% prediction bands for 'Amati' and 'Yonetoku' relations for the sample of >300 long KW GRBs with known redshifts (Tsvetkova et al., 2017; Tsvetkova et al., 2021), see http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB241025A/GRB241025A_rest_frame.pdf All the quoted errors are estimated at the 68% confidence level. All the presented results are preliminary.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 37964 SUBJECT: GRB 241025A: The discovery of a BdHN I from data of Swift, Fermi, SVOM and Einstein Probe telescopes DATE: 24/10/30 12:11:00 GMT FROM: Remo Ruffini at ICRA R. Ruffini, L. Becerra, C.L. Bianco, M. Della Valle, Liang Li, G.J. Mathews, M.T. Mirtorabi, R. Moradi, F. Rastegar Nia, J.A. Rueda and Y. Wang We are comparing and contrasting the seven episodes of BdHN I observed in GRB 241025A with Eiso = 5.5 x 10^53 erg (GCN 37927) and GRB 220101A with Eiso = 3.7 x 10^54 erg (GCN 31365). Both are highly energetic and located at a redshift greater than 4 (GCN 37866, GCN 31353), which allows a zoom-in investigation due to cosmological expansion. By examining the onset of black hole formation and the ultra-relativistic prompt emission (UPE), we gain insight into the rotational dynamics within these systems. This investigation requires additional observational data, particularly optical emission measurements from the newly born pulsar and extended X-ray afterglow data up to more than 10^6 seconds. Concurrent monitoring by Fermi-LAT will be crucial for capturing high-energy emissions, while the already performed Fermi-GBM observations enable the identification of the jetted emission. On this basis, the energy extraction process from a newly formed black hole will be determine.

Malesani (DAWN/NBI and Radboud Univ.), A. Melandri, D. Paris, and E. Marini (INAF-OAR), report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the optical counterpart of GRB 241025A (Ambrosi et al., GCN 37859; Fermi GBM team, GCN 37860; Wang et al., GCN 37863; Li et al., GCN 37864) with the LBC camera mounted on LBT (Mt. Graham, AZ, USA) in the r', i', and z' bands with approximate midtime 04:54:00 UT on 2024-10-28, or 3.14 days after the burst. Observations were performed under an average seeing of ~1.2" but with a few passing cirrus. The optical afterglow (Ambrosi et al., GCN 37859; Jiang et al., GCN 37862; Pereyra et al., GCN 37865; Xu et al., GCN 37866; SVOM/VT team, GCN 37871; Abdi et al., GCN 37882; Watson et al., GCN 37889; Mohan et al., GCN 37890; Vinko et al., GCN 37891; Gupta et al., GCN 37893; Pankov et al., GCN 37912; Moskvitin and Spiridonova, GCN 37914 and 37923; Klingler and Ambrosi, GCN 37919; Wang et al., GCN 37926) is well detected in all bands. We measure a preliminary AB magnitude of r' = 23.6+-0.1, calibrated against Pan-STARRS field stars, and not corrected for the foreground Galactic extinction. We acknowledge excellent support from the LBTO and LBT-INAF staff, particularly O. Kuhn and R. Ansaldi.

Giroletti (INAF-IRA), G. Ghirlanda (INAF-OAB), N. Di Lalla (Stanford Univ.), N. Omodei (Stanford Univ.), O. S. Salafia (INAF-OAB) At 19:11:50 UT on 2024 Oct 25 (T_mid = 0.76 days post-burst) the Karl G. Jansky VLA observed the field of GRB 241025A (Ambrosi et al., GCN 37859; Fermi GBM team, GCN 37860; SVOM team, GCN 37863; Li et al., GCN 37864; Svinkin et al., GCN 37927) in three bands, with central frequencies of 6, 10 and 15 GHz. The standard 3C286 was used as bandpass and flux density calibrator, while J2344+8226 was used as phase calibrator. From a preliminary analysis, an unresolved radio source is clearly detected at a position (J2000): RA: 22:14:36.859 +- 0.001 Dec: +83:34:32.27 +- 0.02 consistent with the optical (Ambrosi et al., GCN 37859; Klingler et al., GCN 37919) and X-ray (Goad et al., GCN 37868) position of the transient. The preliminary analysis yields the following results: ============================================================= T_mid Freq Peak r.m.s. Beam PA [days] [GHz] [uJy/b] [uJy/b] [arcsec^2] [deg] ============================================================= 0.76 6 51 7 0.65x0.27 -71 0.76 10 119 8 0.35x0.17 -78 0.76 15 163 8 0.24x0.12 -65 ============================================================= No source is detected with a >3sigma confidence at the aforementioned position in previous radio surveys (FIRST, NVSS, VLASS), all of which have r.m.s. noise levels above 100 uJy/b. We would like to thank the staff of the VLA for approving, executing, and processing the observations. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc. These observations were carried out as part of project SF171028, approved in the framework of the Fermi - NRAO joint program agreement.

Orange (OrangeWave Innovative Science, LLC), D. Morris (NASA), T. Lombardi (Eckerd College), F. George (ERAU), K. Noonan (UVI), D. Smith (UVI), K. Smith (UVI), C. Watson (UVI) report: We observed the field of GRB241025A detected by Swift (Ambrosi et al., GCN 37859), Fermi (Fermi GBM team, GCN 37860), SVOM (SVOM/GRM team, GCN 37863), and EP (Li et al., GCN 37864) with the 0.5m Virgin Island Robotic Telescope (VIRT) at the University of the Virgin Islands' Etelman Observatory on 2024-10-25 starting at 22:37:31 (T-mid ~T0+21.8 hrs). We performed a series of exposures in an R filter with a total exposure of 2800s. The weather conditions were partly cloudy during the hours of observation with an average airmass of 2.4. We do not detect any source within the enhanced XRT position (Goad et al. GCN 37868). This non-detection is consistent with detections (Jiang et al. GCN 37862; Pereyra et al. GCN 37865; Xu et al.
