M. E. Ravasio (Radboud Univ.), E. Burns (LSU), and P.G. Jonker (Radboud Univ.) report on behalf of the Fermi-GBM Team:
Fermi-GBM had full spatial coverage of the transient EP250610a detected by EP-WXT (Zhang et al., GCN 40660, Lian et al. GCN 40669). There was no Fermi-GBM onboard trigger around the EP starting time T0=2025-06-10T04:23:24 UTC.
The GBM targeted search [1], the most sensitive, coherent search for GRB-like signals, was run in the time interval [T0-50;T0+500] s, seeking signals between 64 ms and 32.768 s in duration. No signal consistent with the EP transient, both temporally and spatially, is identified, as confirmed also by visual inspection of the data.
Assuming a “soft” spectral template (Band function with Epeak = 70 keV, alpha = -1.9, beta = -3.7), and a duration of 8.192 s, we derive a flux upper limit of 2.8e-08 erg/cm2/s in the energy band 10-1000 keV.
