report on behalf of the SVOM team:

During the commissioning phase, the SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by GRB 241115D / EP 241115a at 2024-11-15T05:45:36 UT (T0). The time and localization are consistent with EP241115a (J. W. Hu et al., GCN 38239

).

The real-time alert data and light curves of SVOM/GRM were downlinked to the ground through the VHF system with low latency. 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 45 +3/-4 s.

This burst is located at about 60 degrees from the SVOM optical axis, and outside the ECLAIRs field of view. At the time of the burst, ECLAIRs was not collecting data.

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.
