At 04:08:54 UT on 2007 October 25, the Burst Alert Telescope on-board Swift detected GRB 071025 and performed a rapid slew to the GRB location, beginning observations with the X-Ray Telescope at 146s after the trigger. The robotic IR observatory PAIRITEL consists of the 1.3-m Peters Telescope at Mt. Hopkins, Arizona, formerly used for the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey. PAIRITEL responded to the initial Gamma-ray burst Coordinate Network alert at 74.3s and slewed immediately to the source. Observations began at 162s and continued uninterrupted until 3812s, when due to a problem with the observing queue PAIRITEL temporarily slewed to another location. Observations resumed at 9108s and continued for another 2h.
