GCN Circular 42719

The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB.

At 12:19:52.14 UT on 17 November 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 251117A (trigger 785074797/251117514).
This trigger was initially classified as Below horizon by the flight software,
but is in fact due to a GRB.

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 335.05, Dec = 5.01 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000  22h 20m, +05d 00'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 4.40 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 52 degrees.
