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

At 07:15:13 UT on 14 Jul 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250714A (trigger 774170118.010932 / 250714302).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 94.7, Dec = -21.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 06h 18m, -21d 11'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.7 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 57.0 degrees.

Report on behalf of the SVOM team:

SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by a bright burst GRB 250714A (SVOM trigger reference: sb25071402) at 2025-07-14T07:15:27.00 UTC (T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN#41088).

With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a main peak following behind a relatively weak emission, with a T90 of 21.6+/-10.2 s in the 15-500 keV band.

The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here:
https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb250714A.png

In addition, the position of this burst, as determined by Fermi/GBM (RA= 94.7, DEC= -21.2, GCN#41088), is located at about 101 degree from the SVOM optical axis, which is well outside the ECLAIRs field of view. But the burst emission has been detected by ECLAIRs through reflection onto the Earth atmosphere, and some of the low-energy emission of GRM is also detected through atmosphere reflection.

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.

The SVOM point of contact for this burst is: Wen-Jun Tan (IHEP) (tanwj@ihep.ac.cn)
