The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB
At 00:42:10 UT on 28 Dec 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 251228A (trigger 788575335.25706 / 251228029).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 150.2, Dec = 49.8 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 10h 00m, 49d 47'), with a statistical uncertainty of 10.7 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 107.0 degrees.
