T. Preis (University of Innsbruck) & J. Greiner (MPE Garching) report:
The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
809676494 at 06:08:09 on 29 Aug. 2026 were automatically fitted for spectrum
and sky location with BALROG (Burgess et al. 2018, MNRAS 476, 1427;
Berlato et al. 2019, ApJ 873, 60).
The best-fit position is:
RA(2000.0) = 240.0 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = -30.5 deg
The 1 sigma statistical error radius is 1.5 deg.
We estimate an additional systematic error of 2 deg.
