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

At 03:35:40 UT on 11 Mar 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260311A (trigger 794892945.615954 / 260311150).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 291.3, Dec = -43.5 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 19h 25m, -43d 30'), with a statistical uncertainty of 10.8 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 111.0 degrees.
