The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 22:30:23 UT on 26 Feb 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250226B (trigger 762301828.12293 / 250226938).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 284.4, Dec = -10.8 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 18h 57m, -10d 48'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.9 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 71.0 degrees.
