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

At 23:25:54 UT on 4 May 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250504A (trigger 768093959.78286 / 250504976).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 265.4, Dec = -40.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 17h 41m, -40d 53'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 113.0 degrees.
