We continued our follow-up campaign of GRB 250602A, detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 40602) with the DDOTI/OAN wide-field imager at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro Mártir (http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) on the night of 2025-06-03 UTC.
DDOTI observed the Fermi/LAT error region (Holzmann Airasca et al., GCN Circ. 40611), from 03:51 UTC to 05:01 UTC (from T+24.7 h to T+ 25.9 h after the trigger), obtaining a total exposure time of 48 minutes.
By comparing our observations with the USNO-B1 and Pan-STARRS PS1 DR2 catalogs, and performing image subtraction using a Pan-STARRS PS1 DR2 template, we detect no uncatalogued sources within the observed field down to a 10-sigma limiting AB magnitude of:
w > 20.0
Unfortunately, the Fermi/LAT error region was not included in the field observed on the night of 2025-06-02 UTC (Atri et al., GCN Circ. 40610).
This value is not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
