MASTER Global robotic Net (Lipunov et al. 2010) started Fermi GRB 250919A
(GBM GCN 41874, GCN 41876, GCN 41890; LAT GCN 41884, Ttrigger=00:28:52)
observation in alert mode (Lipunov et al. GCN 41875)
at MASTER-OAFA and continued as EP GRB 250919 (GCN 41879) since its notice time (Lipunov et al. 41880)
Bright optical counterpart MASTER OT J195412.89-485016.4 was detected with peak structure light curve.
24h after GRB detection (GCN 41874) this optical counterpart has unfiltered m_OT~18.3
MASTER observations will be continued
This transient was first publishied as EP250919a optical counterpart by Las Cumbres observatory (GCN 41877, t_detection=03:02:52.800 UTC)
and as Fermi GRB 250919A/EP250919a optical counterpart by Gemini-South (LEvan et al. GCN 41883)
with reshift detection z = 1.145
X-ray counterpart was also detected by
Swift (Osborne et al. GCN 41885) with OT afterglow detection by UVOT (Oates et al. GCN 41886), .
NuSTAR (GCN 41888) and Svom (41882).
