Wavelength coverage
- Gamma-ray / high-energy: SVOM issued the original burst alert, but the event was later concluded not to be a GRB.
- X-band telemetry/data: event-by-event data downloaded via the X-band ground station were used to refine the position.
No observations are mentioned in optical, infrared, radio, X-ray, neutrino, or gravitational-wave bands.
