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

At 16:09:13 UT on 17 Jun 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250617A (trigger 771869358.345712 / 250617673).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 354.8, Dec = 35.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 23h 39m, 35d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.6 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 51.0 degrees.
