We imaged the field of the SVOM GRB 260807A (Xie et al., GCN Circ. 45308) using the DDRAGO wide-field imager on the SVOM/COLIBRÍ (FM-GFT) telescope. We observed from 2026-08-07 11:43:34 to 11:47:16 UTC (from 0.7266 to 0.8050 hours after the trigger) and obtained 4x60 seconds of exposure in the z band before the end of the night.

The data were reduced and coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and analyzed with the ASU pipeline of COLIBRÍ and with STDWeb (Karpov 2025). The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1r catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.

In the stacked image, we do not detect any convincing new source within the ECLAIRs error circle (Xie et al., GCN Circ. 45308) down to the following 5-sigma limit:

z > 20.0

We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional at Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, as well as the technical and engineering teams at CEA, CPPM, IRAP, LAM, OHP, OSU Pytheas, and UNAM.

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.
