The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 17:05:51 UT on 22 Dec 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 251222A (trigger 788115956.26632 / 251222712).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 75.7, Dec = -5.3 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 05h 02m, -5d 17'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.0 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 81.0 degrees.
