The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 16:20:14 UT on 26 Sep 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260926A (trigger 812132419.655086 / 260926681).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 20.2, Dec = 65.3 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 01h 20m, 65d 17'), with a statistical uncertainty of 5.8 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 81.0 degrees.
