report on behalf of the SVOM mission team:

At 2026-08-31T18:36:12 UT SVOM issued an alert with burst-id sb26083106, which was reported in the circular GCN #45477.

Using the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, we determined a refined position for this event, concluding that it originated from the classical nova V* GK Per.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The Burst Advocate (BA) on shift for this alert is Claire Guepin: claire.guepin@lupm.in2p3.fr.
Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information.
