The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 18:00:26 UT on 20 Jan 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260120B (trigger 790624831.046372 / 260120750).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 282.2, Dec = 64.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 18h 48m, 64d 12'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.5 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 11.0 degrees.
