The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 11:26:39 UT on 11 May 2021, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 210511B (trigger 642425204.260366 / 210511477).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 316.2, Dec = 61.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 21h 04m, 61d 42'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.0 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 49.0 degrees.

F. Kunzweiler, B. Biltzinger, F. Berlato, J. Burgess & J. Greiner (all MPE Garching) report:
The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
642425204 at 11:26:39 on 11 May 2021 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 (1 sigma statistical errors) is:
RA(2000.0) = 314.1+/-1.4 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = 56.3+/-0.6 deg
We estimate an additional systematic error of 1 deg.

During the commissioning phase, GECAM-B was triggered by a long GRB 210511B
at 2021-05-11T11:26:40.600 UTC (denoted as T0),
which was also observed by Fermi/GBM (GCN #29988).
GECAM alert data was promptly downlinked to the ground through the
short message service of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).
The time latency of the first BeiDou message relative to the trigger time
is about 1 minute.
According to the BDS alert data, this burst mainly consists of
a single pulse with a duration of about 10s.
An automatic on-ground localization was calculated using the light curves
and spectrum. Although the in-flight calibration of energy response and
localization has not been finalized yet, GECAM-B localized this burst to
the following position (J2000):
ra: 317.99 deg
dec: 59.53 deg
err: 3.19 deg (statistical only)
The current systematic error of location is estimated to be several degrees
which could be minimized by the ongoing calibration. This position is
consistent with the Fermi GBM team localization (GCN 29988) within the error.
The GECAM light curve could be found here:
http://twiki.ihep.ac.cn/pub/GECAM/GRBList/gecamb_lc_grd_all_combine_74431600.png
As the detailed science data are downloaded, all analyses would be improved.
Please note that all GECAM results here are preliminary. The final analysis
will be published in journal papers or GECAM online catalog.
Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor
(GECAM) mission consists of two small satellites (GECAM-A and GECAM-B) in
Low Earth Orbit (600 km, 29 deg), launched on Dec 10, 2020 (Beijing Time),
which was funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:
"At 11:26:39.26 UT on 11 May 2021, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 210511B (trigger 642425204 / 210511477),
which was also detected by GECAM (Cai et al., GCN 29990) and
by AGILE (Ursi et al., GCN 29991).
The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization was reported in GCN 29988.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 49 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of a bright emission episode
with a duration (T90) of about 6 s (50-300 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0 to T0+8 s is
best fit by a Band function with Epeak = 128 +/- 5 keV,
alpha = -0.72 +/- 0.04, and beta = -2.47 +/- 0.10.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(1.04 +/- 0.02)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+4.2 s in the 10-1000 keV band
is 23.3 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box

The error box area is 2687 sq. arcmin, and its maximum

The Sun distance was 75 deg.

triggered Konus-Wind at T0=41201.35 s UT (11:26:41.350).
The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure
which starts at ~T0-1.7 s and has a total duration of ~6 s.
The emission is seen up to ~4 MeV.
The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB210511_T41201/
As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 1.10(-0.15,+0.18)x10^-5 erg/cm2,
and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.512 s,
of 4.76(-1.24,+1.34)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range).
The time-averaged spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+8.448 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 4 MeV range
by the GRB (Band) model with the following parameters:
the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.98(-0.15,+0.18),
the high energy photon index beta = -2.48(-0.43,+0.23),
the peak energy Ep = 154(-22,+25) keV
(chi2 = 86/71 dof).
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
All the quoted values are preliminary.
