Matt Godwin (UAH) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 20:05:04.04 UT on 06 October 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 251006B (trigger 781473909/251006837),
which was also detected by Einstein Probe (Yin et al. 2025, GCN 42137) and SVOM/GRM (Wang et al. 2025, GCN 42139).
The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the EP position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 104 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of one bright emission with a weaker secondary peak with total duration (T90)
of about 5.9 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-2.0 to T0+7.2 s is best fit by
a Band function with Epeak = 330 +/- 14 keV,
alpha = -0.61 +/- 0.03, and beta = -2.4 +/- 0.1.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(2.06 +/- 0.03)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+0.38 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 26.2 +/- 0.4 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:

EP-FXT performed a second follow-up observation of GRB 251006B/EP251006a (GCN 42131, GCN 42137, GCN 42139, GCN 42155) at 2025-10-07T18:08:41 (UTC), about 22 hours after the WXT detection, with an exposure time of 4.9 ks. The source was also followed by several optical telescopes (GCN 42133, GCN 42138, GCN 42141). Two uncatalogued sources were detected within the WXT error circle (GCN 42140), of which Source 2 has faded with an unabsorbed flux of 3.37 x 10^-13 erg/s/cm^2 (22 hours) from the first observation at about 3.52 x 10^-12 erg/s/cm^2 (11 hours) in 0.5-10 keV. The position of Source 2 is R.A. = 40.5195 deg, DEC = -6.0346 deg (J2000) with an uncertainty of 10 arcsec in radius (90% C.L. statistical and systematic), which is consistent with the SVOM/VT optical candidate (GCN 42141), and is therefore likely the GRB afterglow.
Launched on January 9, 2024, EP is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability (Yuan et al. 2022, Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics).

Chen-Wei Wang, Yue Wang, Cheng-Kui Li, Shao-Lin Xiong, and Chao Zheng report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:
At 2025-10-06T20:05:04.350 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected the burst GRB 251006B, which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN#42131), EP (Yin et al., GCN#42137) and SVOM/GRM (Wang et al., GCN#42139).
The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of multi-pulses with a T90 of 4.6 +1.1/-0.8 s. The 1s peak rate, measured from T0-0.1 s, is 3694 cnts/sec. The total counts from this burst is 5990 counts.
The HXMT/HE light curve can be found here:
https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/hxmtgrb251006B.png
All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the regular mode with the energy range of about 60-900 keV (deposited energy). Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside of the telescope.
Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). More information about it could be found at: http://www.hxmt.org.

R.A. (J2000) = 02:42:04.43
Dec. (J2000) = -06:02:05.8
with an uncertainty of 0.5 arcsec.
The magnitudes of the candidate are given below:

Report on behalf of the SVOM team:
SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by GRB 251006B (SVOM trigger reference: sb25100602) at 2025-10-06T20:05:08.000 (T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN #42131).
With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of two pulses with a T90 of 6.2 +0.2/-0.1 s in the 15-5000 keV band.
The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here:
https://www.bursthub.cn//admin/static/svgrb251006B.png
In addition, the position of this burst, as determined by Fermi/GBM (RA = 40.5, Dec = -4.0, GCN #42131), is located at about 40.5 degrees from the SVOM optical axis, which is inside the ECLAIRs field of view. But ECLAIRs was not collecting data at the time of this burst.
With this localization, the time-averaged spectrum from T0-5 to T0+5 s is best fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.76 +0.03/-0.03 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 433 +27/-24 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (2.02 +0.05/-0.05)E-05 erg/cm^2.

We imaged the field of the Fermi GRB 251006B (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 42131, Preis
et al., GCN Circ 42132, Yin et al., GCN Circ. 42137) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2025-10-07T06:00:50 to 06:19:48 UTC (from 9.93 to 10.25 hours after the trigger) and obtained 13 minutes of simultaneous exposure in the r and z filters.
The data were reduced and coadded with the COLIBRÍ pipeline and analysed with STDWeb/STDPipe (Karpov 2025). The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
In the stacked image, we do not detect any new source at the EP-WXT source position (Yin et al., GCN Circ. 42137) down to the following 5-sigma limit:
r > 21.0
z > 20.6
We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir and the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams.
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.

We report on the detection of a fast X-ray transient, designated EP251006a, by the Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) on board the Einstein Probe (EP) mission. The transient event started at T0 = 2025-10-06T20:05:04 (UTC). The position of the source is R.A. = 40.505 deg, DEC = -5.989 deg (J2000) with an uncertainty of 2.4 arcmin in radius (90% C.L. statistical and systematic). The trigger time and position of this X-ray transient are consistent with that of GRB 251006B (GCN 42131, GCN 42132).
The analysis of the WXT data shows that the event lasted for about 100 seconds with a two-pulse main emission within T0 - T0 + 10 s followed by a much weaker tail. The average WXT 0.5-4 keV spectrum can be fitted with an absorbed power law with a fixed Galactic hydrogen column density of 2.98 x 10^20 cm^-2 and a photon index of 1.28 (-0.60/+0.64). The derived average unabsorbed 0.5-4 keV flux is 1.61 (-0.72/+0.50) x 10^-10 erg/s/cm^2. The peak flux is around 9.09 x 10^-9 erg/s/cm^2 with a fixed Galactic hydrogen column density of 2.98 x 10^20 cm^-2 and a photon index of 1.09 (-0.76/+0.84).

T. Preis (University of Innsbruck) & J. Greiner (MPE Garching) report:
The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
781473909 at 20:05:04 on 06 Oct. 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) = 41.9 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = -6.8 deg
The 1 sigma statistical error radius is 3.4 deg.
We estimate an additional systematic error of 1 deg.

The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 20:05:04 UT on 6 Oct 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 251006B (trigger 781473909.040226 / 251006837).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 40.5, Dec = -4.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 02h 42m, -4d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.2 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 105.0 degrees.
