N.A. Rakotondrainibe (LAM), C. Adami (LAM/Pytheas/AMU), E. Le Floc'h (CEA/Irfu), S. basa (UAR Pytheas) report on behalf of the MISTRAL GRB collaboration
We carried out observations of the GRB 251025B (Hussein et al., GCN 42437) optical and NIR afterglow (Wu et al., GCN 42438; Gress et al., GCN 42439; Wu et al., GCN 42440; Beardmore et al., GCN 42445; Mohan et al., GCN 42447; Hernández Funget al., GCN 42450; Pereyra et al., GCN 42452; Li et al., GCN 42453; Mo et al., GCN 42459) using the T193cm telescope at Observatoire de Haute-Provence (France) equipped with the MISTRAL spectro-imager. We obtained 1 exposure of 3 min and 5 exposures of 12 min in the r-band at a midtime of 2025-10-26 20:11:53 UT corresponding to T-T0 = 29.8 hours.
The afterglow is well detected in r’ and we measured the following preliminary magnitude:
r’ = 20.93+/-0.07 mag (AB)
The photometric calibration was performed using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS catalog and the magnitudes are not corrected for Galactic extinction. We used the STDWeb/STDPipe tools (Karpov 2025).
We acknowledge the excellent support from the Observatoire de Haute-Provence and in particular Jean Balcaen and the SOPHIE observer Guillaume Hebrard.
