Cheng (SWIFAR,YNU) and B.-T. Wang (YNAO, CAS):

We imaged the field of the SVOM GRB 250510A (Cheng et al., GCN Circ. 40415) using the DDRAGO wide-field imager on the SVOM/COLIBRÍ (FM-GFT) telescope. We observed from 2025-05-10 06:02:26 to 06:20:28 UTC (from 1.4 to 1.7 hours after the trigger) and obtained 16 minutes of exposure in the i filter under regular weather conditions.

The data were reduced and coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and analyzed with STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025). The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.

In the stacked image, we do not detect any new source at the ECLAIRs source position (Cheng et al., GCN Circ. 40415) down to the following 5-sigma limit:

i > 20.84

Further observations and analysis are ongoing. 

We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir and the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams.

COLIBRÍ is an astronomical observatory developed and operated jointly by France (AMU, CNES and CNRS) and Mexico (UNAM and SECIHTI). It is located at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico.
