The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 03:07:09 UT on 4 Aug 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260804A (trigger 807505634.188604 / 260804130).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 93.8, Dec = 18.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 06h 15m, 18d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.6 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 74.0 degrees.
