The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB.
"At 20:01:51.98 UT on 17 March 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 260317A (trigger 795470516/260317835).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 255.62, Dec = -18.51 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 17h 2m, -18d 30'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 13.33 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 93 degrees.
