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

At 12:58:03 UT on 24 Nov 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 251124a (trigger 785681888.46989 / 251124540), which has also been reported in GCN 42820. An interruption in the automated pipeline caused the automated circular to be distributed later than normal.

The on-ground automated localization is consistent with the location in GCN 42820.

The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a LONG GRB

"At 12:58:03.47 UT on 24 November 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 251124a (trigger 785681888/251124540).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 258.14, Dec = 16.86 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 17h 12m, +16d 51'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 1.00 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 63 degrees.
