The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
"At 01:24:47.42 UT on 20 May 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260520A (trigger 800933092/260520059).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 191.01, Dec = -34.56 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 12h 44m, -34d 33’), with a statistical uncertainty of 14 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 114 degrees.
