C. Adami (LAM/Pytheas/AMU), N.A. Rakotondrainibe (LAM), B. Schneider (LAM), S. Basa (UAR Pytheas), E. Le Floc'h (CEA/Irfu) report on behalf of the MISTRAL GRB collaboration:
We carried out observations of the GRB 251103A (Hu et al., GCN 42534, Schneider et al., GCN 42535; Fermi GBM Team, GCN 42536; Turpin et al., GCN 42538; Gritsevich et al., GCN 42539, Izzo et al., GCN 42540; Osborne et al., GCN 42551; O'Neill et al., GCN 42543; Ghosh et al., GCN 42545; Schneider et al., GCN 42549; Osborne et al., GCN 42551; Wang et al., GCN 42552; Sonawane et al., GCN 42553; Breeveld et al., GCN 42554; Hellot et al., GCN 42559; Mo et al., GCN 42562; Lipunov et al., GCN 42565; Delaunay et al., GCN 42568; Zheng et al., GCN 42571, Ren et al., GCN 42572) using the T193cm telescope at Observatoire de Haute-Provence (France) equipped with the MISTRAL spectro-imager. We obtained 94 min (1 exposure of 4 min and 18 exposures of 5 min) in the r-band at a midtime of 2025-11-04 05:24:03 UT corresponding to T-T0 = 24.63 hours.
The afterglow is detected in r’ and we measured the following preliminary magnitude:
r’ = 22.33 +/- 0.16
The photometric calibration was performed using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS catalog and the STDWeb/STDPipe tools (Karpov 2025), is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
We acknowledge the excellent support from the Observatoire de Haute-Provence and in particular Yoann Degot-Longhi.
