we computed the isotropic equivalent energy of GRB 260310A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 43951) , using the spectral information on the prompt emission measured by Fermi GBM (Hamburg & Meegan, GCN Circ. 43975), in order to locate the GRB in the Amati diagram.
At z = 0.153 (Hinds et al. GCN 43977), Ep,i = 198 keV, Eiso = 3.5e50 erg and GRB 260310A clearly lies in the Type I (mergers) region of the Amati plot, which is unusual for a long GRB.
In order to locate GRB 260310A in the Type II (collapsars) region of the Amati plot, it has to be at z ≥ 0.7, and not associated with the bright galaxy noticed by the LAST team (Konno et al., GCN Circ. 43974).
