report on behalf of the SVOM mission team.

At 2025-02-13T23:46:24 UTC (Tb) SVOM/ECLAIRs triggered on the gamma-ray burst GRB 250213A (SVOM burst-id sb25021316).
The following trigger information was received on the ground with low latency by the SVOM VHF Alert Network.

The burst was only detected by the Image Trigger (IMT), which produced a sequence of 2 alerts. IMT provided the alert with the best signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) of 7.50 in the [8-50] keV energy band over a time window of 20.48 seconds starting at Tb.

The localization of the best alert is R.A., Dec 112.4888, -20.0967 degrees:
RA (J2000) = 7h29m57.31s
Dec (J2000) = -20d05m48.10s
with a 90% C.L. radius of 10.46 arcmin (including systematic error of 2 arcmin added in quadrature).

A SVOM follow-up ToO observation has been scheduled. 

The Space-based multi-band astronomical 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.
