Report on behalf of the SVOM team:
SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by a burst GRB 251127A at 2025-11-27T03:17:44.000 UTC (T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #42852) and Glowbug (C.C. Cheung et al., GCN #42872).
With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of mutiple peaks with a T90 of 17.5 +4.0/-2.5 s in the 15-5000 keV band.

In addition, the position of this burst, as determined by Fermi/GBM (RA= 155.6, DEC= 30.2, GCN#42852), is located at about 46 degrees from the SVOM optical axis, which is outside the ECLAIRs field of view.
With this localization, the time-averaged spectrum from T0-2 to T0+18 s is best fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.09 +0.22/-0.21 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 267 +251/-77 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.05 +0.11/-0.11)E-05 erg/cm^2.
The 1s peak spectrum, measured from T0-1 to T0 s, if fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff, the power law index is -1.01 +0.18/-0.16 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 591 +503/-197 keV. The flux (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (7.84 +0.88/-1.01)E-07 erg/cm^2/s.

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.
