GRID detection of GRB 261010A

Zihan Yu, Chenyu Wang, Xinyu Liu report on behalf of the GRID Collaboration:

GRID-11B reports the detection of the long-duration GRB 261010A, which was also detected by Fermi GBM (GCN Circular 45888

, ), Swift BAT (GCN Circular , ), and Konus-Wind (GCN Circular ).

X-ray and optical afterglow detections were reported by Swift XRT (GCN Circular 45889

, , ), NOT/ALFOSC (GCN Circular , ), and the OSN 1.5m telescope (GCN Circular ).

We adopt 2026-10-10 at 19:17:03 UTC, the Fermi GBM trigger time, as T0. Using a source interval from T0-2 to T0+8 s, the measured burst duration (T90) using events selected in the 30-2000 keV range of the GRID-11B FITS energy column is approximately 5.4 +/- 1.2 seconds (statistical uncertainty).

The extended emission reported by other instruments is not clearly seen in the GRID-11B light curve. The reported T90 characterizes the main emission episode.
