At 2025-11-19T08:47:44 SVOM issued an alert with burst-id: sb25111901.

The following circular(s) have been published regarding this event: GCN 42757, with the event labelled as GRB 251119A 

This event is not a GRB of astrophysical origin. After reprocessing the data with the full telemetry, this trigger is no longer considered as an astrophysical source but is due to coding noise from the Crab in the field of view.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The Burst Advocate (BA) on shift for this alert is Chao Wu: cwu@bao.ac.cn.
Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information.
