The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 10:42:59 UT on 27 Aug 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260827A (trigger 809520184.770226 / 260827447).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 247.9, Dec = -53.5 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 16h 31m, -53d 30'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.4 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 41.0 degrees.
