SVOM performed an automatic slew on the burst triggered by SVOM/ECLAIRs (Maggi
et al., GCN 41078). SVOM/VT began observing the field at 2025-07-13T17:09:14
UTC, 168 seconds after T0, in the VT_B (400nm-650nm) and VT_R (650nm-1000nm) channels simultaneously.
No uncatalogued candidate was detected in our single or stacked images within the errorbox of the SVOM/MXT position (Maggi et al., GCN 41078) or FXT (Liang et al., 41085) or XRT (Evens et al., GCN 41086) .
The 3-sigma upper limits are:
[T-T0, mid-time] | exposure time (s) | band | upper limit (AB)
----------- --------|-------------------|------|-----------------
20.7 min | 44*50 | VT_B | 23.5
20.7 min | 44*50 | VT_R | 23.2
Our results are consistent with Fu et al. (GCN 41079), Wu et al. (GCN 41089), and Braun et al. (GCN 41090) and Saccardi et al. (GCN 41091).
NIR follow-ups are encouraged to investigate the nature of the burst.
The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Centre for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. VT was jointly developed by Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM), CAS and National astronomical observatories (NAOC), CAS.
