The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 10:36:02 UT on 20 May 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250520B (trigger 769430167.408886 / 250520442).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 100.6, Dec = 68.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 06h 42m, 68d 42'), with a statistical uncertainty of 4.3 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 21.0 degrees.
