We imaged the field of the Fermi/Swift GRB 250728A (Pathak et al., GCN Circ. 41190; Ronchini et al., GCN Circ. 41185) using the DDRAGO wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2025-07-29 03:29 to 05:34 UTC (from 18.07 to 20.15 hours after the trigger) and obtained 96 minutes of exposure in the i filter.
The data were reduced and coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and analysed with STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025). The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
In the stacked image, we do not detect any new source in the BAT uncertainty region (Ronchini et al., GCN Circ. 41185) to a 5-sigma limit of:
i > 24.20
Furthermore, at the position of Swift/XRT source #3 (Evans et al., GCN Circ. 41186) at 17:23:57.48 +16:12:01.6 we do not detect a new source to a 3-sigma limit of:
i > 24.75
Further observations 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.
