Maggi (ObAS) report on behalf of the SVOM/C-GFT team:

We observed the field of GRB250713A (sb25071320) detected by SVOM/ECLAIRs (GCN 41078

) with LATIOS on SVOM/C-GFT. Observations started at 2025-07-13T17:07:44 UTC, ~78 seconds after the trigger.

A series of g, r, and i band images were obtained under brighter Moon. No credible candidate was detected within the error box provided by SVOM/MXT(GCN 41078

. The photometry was calibrated with UCAC4 catalogue.

We thank the observation assistants Chunlei Guo and Guangsheng Zhang at Jilin observatory for their excellent support.

The Chinese Ground Follow-up Telescope (C-GFT) for the SVOM mission is located at Jilin Station, Changchun Observatory, National Astronomical Observatories, CAS. It features two instruments: (1) CATCH at the Cassegrain focus with a 21 arcsec x 21 arcsec FOV for simultaneous g/r/i-band imaging, and (2) LATIOS, a 4k x 4k CMOS camera at the prime focus with a 1.28 deg x 1.28 deg FOV that images in g, r, and i bands via filter switching.
