The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 11:00:31 UT on 11 May 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260511B (trigger 800190036.70394 / 260511459).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 192.2, Dec = 5.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 12h 48m, 5d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.4 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 101.0 degrees.
