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

At 01:22:24.93 UT on 26 Mar 2021, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 210326A (trigger 638414549.926002 / 210326057).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 58.0, Dec = +15.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 03h 52m, +15d 06'), with a statistical uncertainty of 39.2 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 69.0 degrees.

report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:

At 2021-03-26T01:22:24.93 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected 
GRB 210326A (trigger ID: HEB210326057) in a routine search of the data, 
which also triggered Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #29730).

The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of a single 
pulse with a duration (T90) of 0.17 s measured from T0-0.08 s. 
The 1-ms peak rate, measured from T0-0.08 s, is 5749 cnts/sec. 
The total counts from this burst is 733 counts.

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the 
regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (deposited energy). 
Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate 
the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside 
of the telescope. 

Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was 
funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and 
the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
