The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB
At 16:30:58 UT on 21 Nov 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 251121A (trigger 785435463.990588 / 251121688).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 250.6, Dec = -19.8 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 16h 42m, -19d 48'), with a statistical uncertainty of 19.5 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 100.0 degrees.
