The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 22:33:29 UT on 9 May 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250509A (trigger 768522814.285632 / 250509940).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 46.0, Dec = -35.3 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 03h 04m, -35d 17'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.0 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 89.0 degrees.
