R.A. (J2000) = 4h14m12.61s Dec. (J2000) = -22d54m14.75swith a 90% confidence level (C.L.) radius of 10.55 arcmin (including systematic error of 2 arcmin added in quadrature).
RA (J2000.0): 63.5510 = 04h 14m 12.24s
Dec (J2000.0): -22.8231 = -22d 49' 23.2"
Error: 3.9 (arcsec, radius, 90% confidence).
Detect flag: GOOD
Distance: 4.9 arcmin from the SVOM/ECLAIRs position.
Mean rate: 0.140 +/- 0.013 ct s^-1
Mean flux: (4.58 +/- 0.43)e-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1
Peak rate: 0.204 +/- 0.046 ct s^-1
Peak flux: (6.7 +/- 1.5)e-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1
ECF: 3.27e-11 erg cm^-2 ct^-1
assuming NH=1.35e+21 cm^-2, gamma=2.07
determined from a spectral fit.
XMM UL: 2.2e-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1, (0.3-10 keV)
so the source is 3.0-sigma above this 3-sigma upper limit.
The source may be fading, at the 2.1-sigma level.
All fluxes are 0.3-10 keV, observed. For all flux conversions and comparisons with
catalogues and upper limits from other missions, we assumed a power-law spectrum
with NH=3x10^20 cm^-2 and photon index (Gamma)=1.7 unless otherwise stated.
RA(J2000) = 04:14:12.39 Dec(J2000) = -22:49:23.5The source has an approximate magnitude of z ~ 21.8 mag (AB). We suggest this is the optical counterpart of GRB 250808A. We notice that this source is also detected in the r-band acquisition image.
