MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  [1]  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 260413A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 44289) errorbox  36329 sec after notice time and 36340 sec after trigger time at 2026-04-13 23:49:17 UT, with upper limit up to  20.7 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 45 deg. The sun  altitude  is -20.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -31 deg., longitude l = 273 deg.

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

At 13:43:37 UT on 13 Apr 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260413A (trigger 797780622.310696 / 260413572).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 87.0, Dec = -64.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 05h 47m, -64d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 26.0 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 15.0 degrees.
