SVOM/GRM team: Yue Wang, Chen-Wei Wang, Shi-Jie Zheng, Shao-Lin Xiong, Shuang-Nan Zhang (IHEP),
report on behalf of the SVOM team:
The SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by GRB 241229B (SVOM trigger reference: sb24122902) at 2024-12-29T01:36:17.000 UT (T0), which was also observed by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 38698) and Swift/BAT (A. D'Ai et al, GCN 38699).
With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of one main pulse with a T90 of 5.45 +0.76/-1.01 s
This burst is located (from Swift/BAT) at about 57.10 degrees from the SVOM optical axis, and outside 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), 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. GRM is developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.
