The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB

At 06:17:08.60 UT on 9 January 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250109A (trigger 758096233/250109262).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 84.43, Dec = 2.26 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 05h 37m, 02d 15'), with a statistical uncertainty of 13.52 degrees. This event is associated with EP250109a (Li et al. 2025, GCN 38864).

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 69.0 degrees.
