The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 01:31:22 UT on 18 Aug 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250818A (trigger 777173487.99771 / 250818063).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 232.7, Dec = -62.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 15h 30m, -62d 53'), with a statistical uncertainty of 7.8 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 140.0 degrees.
