a gamma-ray burst lasting about 20 s has been detected by IBAS in the IBIS/ISGRI data at 10:38:11 UT of 2022 September 26.
The refined coordinates (J2000) are:
R.A. = 273.9353 deg
DEC. = -37.2414 deg
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin (90% c.l.).

GRB 220926B detected by IBAS in the IBIS/ISGRI (Gotz et al. GCN 32586) had
a peak flux > 2 ph/cm2/s (20-200 keV, 1-s integration time) and a fluence
in the same energy range greater than 7e-7 erg/cmq (20 s integration time).
Due to telemetry saturation we can provide only lower limits to these
quantities.

-- the GRBAlpha collaboration.
The long-duration GRB 220926B (INTEGRAL IBIS/ISGRI detection: Gotz et
al., GCN 32586) was detected by the GRBAlpha 1U CubeSat (Pal et al.
Proc. SPIE 2020).
The subthreshold 4.7 sigma detection was confirmed at the peak time
2022-09-26 10:38:21.2 UTC. The light curve obtained by GRBAlpha is
temporally consistent with the light curve obtained by INTEGRAL
IBIS/ISGRI. The GOES X-ray flux does not show any excess, so we exclude
this detection being a solar flare. Therefore, this event is consistent
with being a GRB with a duration, as measured by GRBAlpha, of ~8 s.
The light curve obtained by GRBAlpha is available here:

GRBAlpha, launched on 2021 March 22, is a demonstration mission for a
future CubeSat constellation (Werner et al. Proc. SPIE 2018). Its
detector consists of a 75 x 75 x 5 mm^3 CsI(Tl) scintillator read out by
a SiPM array, covering the energy range from ~50 keV to ~1000 keV. To
increase the duty cycle and the downlink rate, we are continuously
upgrading the on-board data acquisition software stack. The ground
segment is also supported by the radio amateur community and it takes
advantage of the SatNOGS network for increased data downlink volume.
