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

At 01:13:11 UT on 14 Nov 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 251114A (trigger 784775596.257482 / 251114051).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 312.9, Dec = 9.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 20h 51m, 9d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 4.2 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 82.0 degrees.
