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

At 14:27:19 UT on 5 Oct 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 251005B (trigger 781367244.128264 / 251005602).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 298.6, Dec = -8.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 19h 54m, -8d 54'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.5 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 104.0 degrees.
