We imaged the field of the SVOM trigger sb26021801 (Tan et al., GCN Circ. 43778) using the DDRAGO wide-field imager on the SVOM/COLIBRÍ (FM-GFT) telescope. We observed from 2026-02-19T08:46:59.976 to 2026-02-19T09:30:49.700 UTC (from 1.16 to 1.19 days after the trigger) and obtained 32 minutes of exposure in the r and z filters.
The data were reduced, coadded and analysed with the COLIBRÍ pipeline. The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
In the stacked image, we do not detect any new source at the ECLAIRs source position (Tan et al., GCN Circ. 43778) down to the following 5-sigma limit:
r > 22.50
z > 21.36
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.
