Lee (UNAM), and Océlotl López (UNAM), Margarita Pereyra (UNAM) and Eleonora Troja (U Roma) report:

We observed the field of the Swift/BAT GRB 250327A (Parsotan et al., GCN 39877) also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 39876) with the DDOTI/OAN wide-field imager at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra of San Pedro Martir (http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) on the night of 2025-03-27 UTC.

DDOTI observed the Swift/BAT error region (Parsotan et al., GCN 39877) from 08:13 UTC to 10:43 UTC (from T+0.7 h to T+3.2 h after the trigger) with a total exposure of 1.4 hours. 

Comparing our observations to the USNO-B1 and PanSTARRS PS1 DR2 catalogues and after performed image subtraction against PanSTARRS PS1 DR2, we detect no evident uncatalogued sources within the observed field to a 5-sigma limiting AB magnitude of 

w > 21.82

This non-detection is consistent with the reported by Ducoin et al. (GCN 39877).

We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra of San Pedro Mártir.
