report on behalf of the SVOM team:

The SVOM/ECLAIRs telescope triggered and located the long duration GRB 250127A (sb25012701) starting at 2025-01-27T05:04:46 UTC (Tb).

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 12 alerts were received. The best detection is obtained by IMT with a signal-to-noise ratio of 17.45 in the 8-120 keV energy band over a time window of 40.96 s starting at Tb. In the real-time light-curve the burst is well seen in the 5-50 keV band and not above.

The localization of the best Alert is RA, Dec = 169.589, 3.346 (J2000). The uncertainty on this position is 4.8 arcminutes at 90% C.L. which includes 2 arcminutes of systematic uncertainty in quadrature.

SVOM performed an automatic slew on this burst, MXT and VT results will be reported later.

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.
