The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB

At 16:23:00 UT on 24 Oct 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 261024A (trigger 814551785.78892 / 261024683).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 317.0, Dec = 63.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 21h 07m, 63d 06'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.6 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 49.0 degrees.
