Report on behalf of the SVOM team:

SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by a burst GRB 250902A (SVOM trigger reference: sb25090201) at 2025-09-02T01:30:01.000 UTC (T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #41648Loading...
 
 ).

With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of multi-pulses with a T90 of 6.9 +0.5/-0.3 s in the 15-5000 keV band.

In addition, the position of this burst, as determined by Fermi/GBM (RA = 159.3, Dec = 16.3, GCN #41648Loading...
 
 ), is located at about 164 degrees from the SVOM optical axis, which is outside the ECLAIRs field of view. ECLAIRs was not collecting data at the time of this burst.

With the localization from Fermi/GBM, the time-averaged spectrum from T0-1 to T0+15 s is best fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.66 +0.06/-0.06 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 431 +128/-76 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (4.47 +0.10/-0.10)E-05 erg/cm^2.

The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center 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. GRM is developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.
