Xing-Hao Luo, Chen-Wei Wang, Chao Zheng, Cheng-Kui Li and Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP) report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:
At 2026-04-12T06:13:46.169 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected the burst GRB 260412A, which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #44275), SVOM/ECLAIRs(Ziqi Wang et.al., GCN#44276) and GECAM-B(Xing-Hao Luo.et.al., GCN#44281).
The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of multiple pulses with a T90 of 40 +4/-6 s. The 1s peak rate, measured from T0+23 s, is 1028 cnts/sec. Insight-HXMT/HE detected a total of 9203 counts from this burst.

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors of Insight-HXMT/HE operating in the regular mode with the energy range of about 60-900 keV (deposited energy). Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside of the telescope.
Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). More information about it could be found at: http://hxmten.ihep.ac.cn/
