report on behalf of the SVOM team:

During the commissioning phase, SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by a long burst GRB 250107C (SVOM trigger reference: sb25010702) at 2025-01-07T18:52:16.300 UTC (T0), which was also detected by GECAM-B.

With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of multiple pulses with a duration of about 4 s.

The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here:

The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center 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. GRM is developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.

on behalf of the Swift-BAT team, report:

The long-duration GRB 250107C
(SVOM-GRM and GECAM-B detections: Xue et al., GCN 38870)
was detected by Konus-Wind, SVOM (GRM), and GECAM-B
at about 67936 s UT (18:52:16).

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box
whose area is 22.6 sq. deg, and its maximum
dimension is 22.8 deg (the minimum one is 1.0 deg).
The Sun distance was 73 deg.

This localization may be improved.

D. Frederiks, A.Lysenko, A. Ridnaia, D. Svinkin,
A. Tsvetkova,  M. Ulanov, and T. Cline,
on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report:

The long GRB 250107C (SVOM/GRM observation: Xue et al., GCN 38870;
IPN triangulation: Svinkin et al., GCN 38879)
triggered Konus-Wind (KW) at T0=67934.719 s UT (18:52:14.719).

The burst consists of two overlapping peaks and had the total duration of ~4 s.
The emission is seen up to ~10 MeV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB250107_T67934/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had
a fluence of (3.02 ± 0.13)x10^-5 erg/cm^2 and
a 64-ms peak energy flux, measured from T0 + 0.960 s,
of (2.23 ± 0.15)x10^-5 erg/cm^2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range).

The time-integrated spectrum (measured from T0 to T0+10.752 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 15 MeV range
by a GRB (Band) function with the following model parameters:
the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.41 (-0.06,+0.06),
the high energy photon index beta = -3.03 (-0.28,+0.18),
the peak energy Ep = 254 (-10,+11) keV,
chi2 = 78/79 dof.

The spectrum near the peak count rate (measured from T0+0.768 s to T0+1.024 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 15 MeV range
by a GRB (Band) function with the following model parameters:
the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.01 (-0.13,+0.15),
the high energy photon index beta = -3.09 (-0.49,+0.29),
the peak energy Ep = 286 (-22,+21) keV,
chi2 = 30/38 dof.

All the quoted errors are estimated at the 68% confidence level.
All the presented results are preliminary.

The long GRB 250107C (SVOM/GRM observation: SVOM/GRM team, GCN Circ.
38870; IPN triangulation: Svinkin et al., GCN Circ. 38879; Konus-Wind detection:
Frederiks et al., GCN Circ. 38895) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM)
at 18:52:15.99 UTC on 7 January 2025
(https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1420311052/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by only the SGM detector.  Because of a problem with the ground 
alert processing script, the GCN notice was not distributed automatically for this event.

The burst light curve shows a double-peaked structure that starts
at T-0.2 sec, peaks at T+0.7 sec, and ends at T+3.0 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 2.6 +/- 0.2 sec
and 1.6 +/- 0.1 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1420311052/

The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by
the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at Waseda University.

was detected by Konus-Wind, SVOM (GRM), GECAM-B, CALET (GBM),
and BepiColombo (MGNS) at about 67936 s UT (18:52:16).

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box
