C. Adami (LAM/Pytheas/AMU), N.A. Rakotondrainibe  (LAM), B. Schneider (LAM), F. Destriez (OBSPM), Y. Degot-Longui (OHP/Pytheas) report on behalf of the MISTRAL GRB collaboration:

We carried out observations of GRB 251025B (Hussein et al., GCN 42437) 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; Rakotondrainibe et al., GCN 42460; Rajabov et al., GCN 42466; Saccardi et al., GCN 42472; Turpin et al., GCN 42474; Volnova et al., GCN 42475; Evans et al., GCN 42493; Gupta et al., GCN 42500; Swain et al., GCN 42503) using the T193cm telescope at Observatoire de Haute-Provence (France) equipped with the MISTRAL spectro-imager. We obtained 23 exposures of 5 min and 2 exposures of 3min in the r-band at a midtime of 2025-11-02 22:44:40 UT, corresponding to T-T0 =  200.342hours.

We do not significantly detect the afterglow at a 3-sigma upper limit of:

r’ < 22.37 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.
