The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB

At 14:40:12 UT on 11 Jul 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250711A (trigger 773937617.940244 / 250711611).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 261.2, Dec = 44.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 17h 24m, 44d 53'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.2 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 28.0 degrees.

T. Preis (University of Innsbruck) & J. Greiner (MPE Garching) report:

The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
773937617 at 14:40:12 on 11 July 2025 were automatically fitted for spectrum
and sky location with BALROG (Burgess et al. 2018, MNRAS 476, 1427;
Berlato et al. 2019, ApJ 873, 60).

The best-fit position is:
RA(2000.0) = 267.8 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = 35.9 deg
The 1 sigma statistical error radius is 2.1 deg.
We estimate an additional systematic error of 1 deg.

Report on behalf of the SVOM team:

SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by a bright burst GRB 250711A (SVOM trigger reference: sb25071104) at 2025-07-11T14:40:14.00 UTC (T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN#41064).

With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of double pulses with a T90 of 38.5 +/-4.0 s in the 15-5000 keV band.

The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here:
https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb250711A.png

In addition, the position of this burst, as determined by Fermi/GBM (RA= 261.2, DEC= 44.9, GCN#41064), is located at about 48 degrees from the SVOM optical axis, which is just outside the ECLAIRs field of view. 

With this localization, the time-averaged spectrum from T0-10 to T0+70 s is best fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.20 +0.09/-0.10 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 146 +23/-17 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.69 +0.12/-0.10)E-05 erg/cm^2. 

The localization of GRB 250711A in the 'Amati' relation diagram is shown at:

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.

Lee (UNAM), Océlotl López (UNAM), Margarita Pereyra (UNAM) and Eleonora Troja (U Roma) report:

We observed the field of GRB 250711A detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 41064) and SVOM/GRM (SVOM/GRM Team GCN Circ. 41072) with the DDOTI/OAN wide-field imager at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro Mártir (http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) on the night of 2025-07-12 UTC. 

DDOTI observed the BALROG error region (Pries et al., GCN Circ. 41065) from 04:12 UTC to 11:28 UTC (from T+ 13.5 h to T+ 20.8 h after the trigger) and obtained a total exposure of 1.7 hours, alternating with other scientific programs.

Comparing our observations to the USNO-B1 and Pan-STARRS PS1 DR2 catalogues, we
detect no uncatalogued fading sources within the observed field down to a 10-sigma limiting AB magnitude of: 

w > 20.1

This value is not corrected for the Galactic extinction.
