Report on behalf of the SVOM team:
During the commissioning phase, the SVOM/ECLAIRs telescope triggered and located the long duration GRB 241113B (sb24111301) at 2024-11-13T11:23:05 UT (Tb) which was also detected by SVOM/GRM.
The following trigger information was received on the ground with low-latency by the SVOM VHF Alert Network.
The burst was detected by both the on-board Count-Rate Trigger (CRT) and Image Trigger (IMT) and 20 alerts were received. The best detection is obtained by CRT with a signal-to-noise ratio of 22.4 in the 8-50 keV energy band over a time window of 20.48 s starting at Tb. The light curve shows a single peak.
The localization of the best Alert is RA, Dec = 110.230, 46.804 (J2000).
The statistical uncertainty on this position is 3.8 arcminutes, to which we recommend adding 2 arcminutes of systematic uncertainty in quadrature.
SVOM did not slew on this burst.
The Space 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. ECLAIRs was developed jointly by APC, CEA, CNES, and IRAP.
