Description
On the 25th of August 2024, the Swift telescope detected Gamma-Ray Burst
GRB 240825A at a redshift of 0.659. The X-ray Telescope (XRT) on board,
localised the source in the Pisces constellation with an uncertainty of
0.0014 degrees. The High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS), Fermi, Rapid
Eye Mount telescope (RAPAS) and ALMA, among many others, followed up and
observed GRB 240825A and its afterglow. These observations span from the
radio to the gamma ray regime. The low extinction value E(B-V)~0.062,
suggests these observations were minimally impacted by dust, which would
allow a reliable reconstruction of GRB 240825A across the
electromagnetic spectrum. Achieving this would further our understanding
of the most energetic processes in the universe.
