SVOM/VT conducted continued observations of GRB 251230A / EP251230a detected by Swift/BAT and EP/WXT (Lanava et al., GCN 43252; Wang et al., GCN 43259; Osborne et al., GCN 43263; Wang et al., GCN 43272; Sbarrato et al., GCN 43275). The magnitudes of the optical afterglow (Li et al., GCN 43255; Lipunov et al., GCN 43256; Busmann et al., GCN 43258; Masi, GCN 43260; Ghosh et al., GCN 43262; Ma et al., GCN 43265; Starling et al., GCN 43267; He et al., GCN 43269; Tak et al., GCN 43270; Breeveld et al., GCN 43271; Gupta et al., GCN 43277; Sankar.K et al., GCN 43279; He et al., GCN 43280; Antier et al., GCN 43281) are:
mid time (h) | exposure time (s) | band | mag (AB)
-------------|-------------------|------|----------
16.51 | 37*50 | VT_B | 23.0+-0.3
29.48 | 41*50 | VT_B | >23.4
16.51 | 37*50 | VT_R | 22.5+-0.2
29.46 | 39*50 | VT_R | >23.1
Our photometry was not corrected for Galactic extinction. Further analysis is ongoing.
The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Centre 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. VT was jointly developed by Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM), CAS and National astronomical observatories (NAOC), CAS.
Happy New Year to everyone ! ! !
