We imaged the field of GRB 250506A (Wang et al. GCN 40358) with the DDRAGO wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir in Mexico.
We started observations at 2025-05-06 03:29:48 (1.106 hours after the trigger). An initial stack with 16 minutes of exposure in the i filter was obtained with a mean epoch 1.266 hrs after the burst. The data were coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and analyzed in STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025), with photometric calibration against Pan-STARRS DR1 and image subtraction against Pan-STARRS DR2. Our photometry is in the AB system and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
No credible counterpart is detected down to an AB 5-sigma limit of i > 22.2 mag.
Further observations are ongoing.
We warmly thank the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams and the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir.
