GRB 240914A: SVOM/GRM observation
Abstract
During the commissioning phase, the SVOM/GRM was triggered both in-flight and on-ground by a weak GRB 240914A (SVOM trigger reference: sb24091403) at 2024-09-14T01:40:03.9 UT (T0), which was also observed and located by SVOM/ECLAIRs(Alexis Coleiro et al., GCN 37495). The real-time alert data and light curves of SVOM/GRM were downlinked to the ground through the VHF system with low latency. With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a single pulse with a T90 of 4.6 s +3.1/-4.4 s. The GRM light curve can be found here: https://www.bursthub.cn/admin/static/svgrb240914A.png 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: Chen-Wei Wang (IHEP)(cwwang@ihep.ac.cn)
