Description

Launched on June 22, 2024, the SVOM satellite extends its mission beyond gamma-ray burst (GRB) science, exploring a wide range of high-energy phenomena and transient astrophysical sources. This presentation highlights SVOM's activities on the Observatory Science related to non-GRB sources. We will showcase the architecture and functionality of the quick-look analysis pipeline for ECLAIRs X-band data (4–150 keV) and present early findings from high-energy sky monitoring with ECLAIRs. Notable results include detailed monitoring of the blazar 1ES 1959+650 and observations of spectral state transitions in X-ray binaries during SVOM’s initial months of operation. These first observations demonstrate SVOM’s potential to deepen our understanding of the dynamic high-energy universe.
