The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 11:24:18 UT on 24 Aug 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250824A (trigger 777727463.376698 / 250824475).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 312.0, Dec = 49.5 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 20h 48m, 49d 30'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.0 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 61.0 degrees.
