We imaged the field of the SVOM GRB 260102A (Xie et al., GCN Circ. 43295) using the DDRAGO wide-field imager on the SVOM/COLIBRÍ (FM-GFT) telescope. We observed from 2026-01-02 13:04 to 13:25 UTC (about 8.9 hours after the trigger) and obtained 18 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the r/z filters.
The data were reduced and coadded with the COLIBRÍ ASU pipeline and analyzed with STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025). The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
We did not detect the optical counterpart reported by Wu et al. (GCN Circ. 43300) to preliminary 3-sigma magnitude limits of:
r > 23.5
z > 22.8
We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir and the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams.
COLIBRÍ is an astronomical observatory developed and operated jointly by France (AMU, CNES and CNRS) and Mexico (UNAM and SECIHTI). It is located at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico.
