report on behalf of the SVOM team:
During the commissioning phase, the SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by a long GRB 240727C at 2024-07-27T17:30:09 UT (T0), which also triggered AstroSat (GCN 36957) and GRBAlpha (GCN 36979).
With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a single pulse with a duration of about 10 s.
The GRM light curve can be found here:

At the time of this burst the ECLAIRs trigger was active, but no uncatalogued point source could be found inside the ECLAIRs field of view.
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.
