Report on behalf of the SVOM team:
SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by a burst GRB 251105B (SVOM trigger reference: sb25110501) at 2025-11-05T00:58:34.700 UTC (T0).
With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a narrow hard spike followed by a FRED shape long pulse with a T90 of 43.6 +6.0/-5.4 s in the 15-5000 keV band.

ECLAIRs was collecting data at the time of this burst but no signal was detected, suggesting the burst localized outside ECLAIRs FoV.
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.
