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

At 06:13:30 UT on 11 May 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260511A (trigger 800172815.286154 / 260511259).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 199.1, Dec = -33.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 13h 16m, -33d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.0 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 117.0 degrees.
