report on behalf of the SVOM team:
During the commissioning phase, the SVOM/GRM detected two bursts probably from SGR 1E 1841-045 / Kes 73, one from in-flight trigger and the other from ground search of the data.
Here is the list of these bursts:
TrigTime (UTC)
(1)2024-08-22T11:00:56.800 (SVOM trigger reference: sb24082202). The GRM light curve of this burst can be found here:

(2)2024-08-21T20:29:24.450, which was also reported by Swift (GCN 37222), Fermi/GBM (GCN 37234) and GECAM-B (GCN 37240). The GRM light curve of this burst can be found here: https://www.bursthub.cn/admin/static/tn240821_202924.png
The SVOM/GRM locations of these two bursts are consistent with SGR 1E 1841-045 / Kes 73.
At the time of both bursts ECLAIRs was in operational mode and the source 1E 1841-045 was outside of 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.
