Longhao Li, Xiangyi Wang, Chenyu Wang, Zirui Yang report on behalf of the GRID Collaboration:
GRID-11B reports the detection of the long-duration GRB 260401A, which was also detected by Fermi-GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN 44174) , MAXI/GSC (Usuki et al., GCN 44176), CALET/GBM (Cannady et al., GCN 44177), NuSTAR (Waratkar et al., GCN 44178), MASTER-OAFA (Lipunov et al., GCN 44180), GECAM-B (Ren et al., GCN 44187) and SVOM/GRM (Ren et al., GCN 44188).
The event was triggered with GRID-11B on 2026-04-01 at 10:53:33 UTC. The measured burst duration (T90) in the 30-2000 keV range is approximately 8.0 +/- 5.7 seconds.
At present, only the GRID light curve is available. No spectral analysis is reported at this stage. The GRID light curve of this event can be found at https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/GRID/data/GRID-GCN/GRB260401A/GRID_260401A_ltcv.pdf
