R. Woolf, C.C. Cheung, M. Kerr, J.E. Grove (NRL), A. Goldstein (USRA), C.A. Wilson-Hodge, D. Kocevski (MSFC), and M.S. Briggs (UAH) report:

The Glowbug gamma-ray telescope [1,2,3], operating on the International Space Station, reports the detection of GRB 260511A, which was also detected by Fermi GBM (GCN 44529), SVOM (GCN 44532), NuSTAR (GCN 44555), and Konus–Wind (GCN 44585).

Using an adaptive window with a resolution of 32-ms, the burst onset is determined to be 2026-05-11 06:13:28.904 with a duration of 11.3 s and a total significance of about 41.6 sigma. The light curve comprises three primary peaks from T0 to ~T0+11s. 

The analysis results presented here are preliminary and use a response function that lacks a detailed characterization of the surrounding passive structure of the ISS.

Glowbug is a NASA-funded technology demonstrator for sensitive, low-cost gamma-ray transient telescopes developed, built, and operated by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) with support from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, USRA, and NASA MSFC.  It was launched on 2023 March 15 aboard the Department of Defense Space Test Program’s STP-H9 to the ISS and operated until 2024 April when it was put in safe storage on orbit. Glowbug was removed from storage and resumed operation on 2025 September 12.

A. Tsvetkova,  M. Ulanov, and T. Cline,
on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report:

The long-duration GRB 260511A
(Fermi-GBM detection: Fermi GBM team, GCN 44529;
Roberts et al., GCN 44548; 
BALROG localization: Preis & Greiner, GCN 44531;
SVOM detection: Godet et al., GCN 44532;
NuSTAR detection: Waratkar et al., GCN 44555) 
triggered Konus-Wind at T0=22416.401 s UT (06:13:36.401).

The burst light curve shows a multipeaked structure
which starts at ~T0-4.6 s and has a total duration of ~20.5 s.
The emission is seen up to ~6 MeV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB260511_T22416/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 1.72(-0.05,+0.05)x10^-5 erg/cm2,
and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.482 s,
of 6.96(-0.71,+0.71)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range).

The time-averaged spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+16.640 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = -0.79(-0.08,+0.09)
and Ep = 187(-8,+8) keV (chi2 = 107/99 dof).
Fitting by a GRB (Band) model yields the same alpha and Ep,
and an upper limit on the high energy photon index: beta < -3.1
(chi2 = 107/98 dof).

The spectrum near the maximum count rate
(measured from T0+0.256 to T0+8.448 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = -0.66(-0.08,+0.08)
and Ep = 187(-6,+7) keV (chi2 = 88/86 dof).
Fitting by a GRB (Band) model yields the same alpha and Ep,
and an upper limit on the high energy photon index: beta < -2.9
(chi2 = 87/85 dof).

All the quoted errors are at the 68% confidence level.
All the quoted values are preliminary.

Jiahuan Zhu, Chenyu Wang, Xutao Zheng, Hao Chang, Zirui Yang report on behalf of the MASS-Cube Collaboration:

MASS-Cube reports the detection of the long-duration GRB 260511A, which was also observed by Fermi/GBM (GCN #44548, #44548), SVOM (GCN #44532) and GRID. The optical counterpart was detected by TRT (GCN #44533).

The event was triggered by MASS-Cube on 2026-05-11 at 06:13:29.2 UTC. The measured burst duration (T90) in the 50-10000 keV range is approximately 9.7 +/- 2.3 seconds. The second peak is not clearly detected by MASS-Cube due to its limited sensitivity.

The MASS-Cube light curve of this event can be found at https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/GRID/data/GRID-GCN/GRB260511A/MASS_Cube_260511A_ltcv.pdf.

S.-Y. Fu (HUST), X. Tian (GXU), H.-N. Yang, Z.-X. Ling (NAOC, CAS) on behalf of the Einstein Probe (EP) team:

EP-FXT performed a follow-up observation of the SVOM/ECLAIRs-detected burst GRB 260511A (SVOM/sb26051101, Godet et al., GCN 44532), which also triggered Fermi-GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN 44529). The follow-up obervation started at 2026-05-11T07:00:13 UTC, approximately 46.7 minutes after the SVOM trigger, with a total exposure time of 2.2ks.

On-ground analysis of the FXT data found an uncatalogued fading source at R.A., Dec. = 197.8992, -33.8042 (J2000) with an uncertainty of about 10 arcsec (radius, 90% C.L. statistical and systematic) near the ECLAIRs error circle. This position is consistent with the optical counterpart reported by TRT (Jiang et al., GCN 44533) and FM-GFT (Akl et al. GCN 44534). The average FXT 0.3-10 keV spectrum can be fitted with an absorbed power-law model, with the hydrogen column density fixed at the Galactic value, adittional hydrogen column density of 5.9 (+-1.3) ×10^20 cm^-2, and a photon index of 1.93 +- 0.05. The derived average unabsorbed flux in the 0.3-10 keV band is 6.33 (+-0.18)×10^-11 erg s^-1 cm^-2.

Launched on January 9, 2024, EP is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability (Yuan et al. 2022, Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics).

G. Waratkar (Caltech) and B. Grefenstette (Caltech) report on behalf of the NuSTAR Search for INteresting Gamma-ray Signals (SINGS) working group:

The NuSTAR SINGS working group reports the detection of prompt emission from the long-duration GRB 260511A in both the NuSTAR CsI anti-coincidence shields. Details of the search algorithm will be described in a future paper.

The NuSTAR SINGS algorithm, triggered at 2026-05-11T06:13:30.0 UTC, shows a detection of GRB 260511A, also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 44529) and SVOM (Godet et al., GCN 44532).

The NuSTAR CsI shield data are recorded at 1 Hz. We detect a ~10-s burst consistent with Fermi/GBM. The peak count rate is ~3500-cps with a baseline rate of ~1000-cps during this time period. We do not see evidence in the signal above 100 keV in the CZT detectors. 

The optical counterpart candidate (Akl et al., GCN 44534) at RA = 197.8996, Dec = -33.80446 implies an offset from the NuSTAR boresight of 57-deg and an offset from the geocenter of 144-deg.

O.J. Roberts (Uni. Of Galway, Ireland) reports on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:

"At 06:13:30.286 UT on 11 May 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 260511A (trigger 800172815/260511259), which was 
also detected by SVOM /ECLAIRs and MXT (Godet et al. 2026, GCN 44532), with 
an optical counterpart was initially detected by Colibri (Akl et al. 2026, GCN 44534).
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 118 degrees.

The GBM light curve consists of a two bright emission episodes with a duration (T90)
of about 14 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.26 to T0+18.43 s is 
best fit by a Band function, with Epeak = 166 +/- 9 keV, alpha = -0.66 +/- 0.05,  
and beta = -2.31 +/- 0.07.

The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(1.973 +/- 0.032) E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+2.6 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 27.3 +/- 0.5 ph/s/cm^2.

The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:

The 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), located at

Lick Observatory, observed the field of GRB 260511A (Fermi GBM Team,

GCN Circ. 44529; Godet et al., GCN Circ. 44532) starting at 06:15:44,

132 seconds after SVOM trigger. Observations were performed in

3 x 3 tiling mode, and a set of clear (roughly R) filter images

were obtained. The first image covered the optical afterglow

(Jiang et al., GCN 44533; Akl et al. GCN 44534 Saccardi et al.,

GCN 44535) was at 06:16:57, 205 seconds after the burst, in which

we measure the afterglow brightness to be 16.7 +/- 0.1 mag (Vega)

calibrated to APASS catalog. Observations are on going.

A. Saccardi (CEA/Irfu), C. Wu (NAOC), L. Zhang (IHEP), D. Kong (GXU), report on behalf of the SVOM mission team:

We observed the field of the SVOM/ECLAIRs and Fermi/GBM GRB 260511A (Godet et al., GCN 44532; Fermi GBM Team, GCN 44529) with the LCO 1m telescope at Cerro Tololo Observatory equipped with the Sinistro instrument.

Our observation started on 2026-05-11 at 06:24:46 UT (about 11 min after the trigger) and we obtained 3x200 s exposures in the SDSS r and 3x200 s exposures in the Pan-STARRS z filters.

The optical counterpart (Jiang et al., GCN 44533; Akl et al. GCN 44534) is clearly detected in our images. We measure the following magnitudes calibrated against the Pan-STARRS DR1 catalog, and not corrected for Galactic extinction:

r = 18.88 +/- 0.02  AB (mid-time 21 min after the trigger);
z = 18.05 +/- 0.04 AB (mid-time 15 min after the trigger).

This project is funded by the SVOM collaboration.

We imaged the field of the SVOM/ECLAIRs and Fermi/GBM GRB 260511A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 44529; Godet et al., GCN Circ. 44532) using the DDRAGO two-channel wide-field imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. We observed from 2026-05-11 06:14:45 to 06:27:52 UTC (from 72 seconds to 14 minutes after the trigger) and obtained 520 seconds of simultaneous exposure in r and z filters.

The data were reduced, coadded, calibrated, and analyzed with the COLIBRÍ ASU pipeline.
The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction.

We detect a bright, fading source at:

  RA(J2000) = 13:11:35.90 = 197.89960 degrees
  Dec(J2000) = -33:48:16.1 = -33.80446 degrees

with an uncertainty of 0.5 arcsec. The preliminary, unsubtracted magnitudes derived for that source are:

r = 16.86 +/- 0.01,

z = 16.43 +/- 0.01.

This position is 3.25 arcmin and 0.87 arcmin away from the ECLAIRs and MXT positions, respectively, released via notices. We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional at Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, as well as the technical and engineering teams at CEA, CPPM, IRAP, LAM, OHP, OSU Pytheas, and UNAM.

We observed the field of GRB 260511A detected by Fermi GBM (GCN 44529) and SVOM (GCN 44532) using the 0.7-m telescope of the Thai Robotic Telescope network (TRT) located at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, Chile (CTO). We obtained a series of frames in the Sloan r-band.

An uncatalogued and varing source is detected near the SVOM MXT error circle at coordinates
R.A. (J2000) = 13:11:35.94 (197.8997 deg)
Dec. (J2000) = -33:48:16.3 (-33.8045 deg)
with an uncertainty of ~ 1.0 arcsec. The source had r ~ 17.9 mag at a median time of 2026-05-11T06:19:37.771, calibrated with Legacy DR10 and not corrected for Galactic extinction.

No NEO would be at the above position at the observational time by checking MPC.

We thus think the source could be the optical counterpart of GRB 260511A.

O. Godet, M. Brunet (IRAP), L. Zhang (IHEP), D. Kong (GXU) report on behalf of the SVOM mission team:

At 2026-05-11T06:13:32 UTC (T0), SVOM/ECLAIRs triggered and located the gamma-ray burst GRB 260511A (SVOM burst-id sb26051101).

This transient was also detected by Fermi/GM (GCN Circular 44529).

The following trigger information was received on the ground with low latency by the SVOM VHF Alert Network.

The burst was detected both by the Count-Rate Trigger (CRT) and the Image Trigger (IMT), which produced a sequence of 16 alerts. CRT provided the alert with the best signal-to-noise-ratio in the image (SNR) of 55.22 in the [8-120] keV energy band over a time window of 10.20 seconds starting at 2026-05-11T06:13:32.

The localization of the best alert is R.A., Dec. 197.929, -33.853 degrees (J2000) with a 90% confidence level (C.L.) radius of 2.44 arcmin (including systematic error of 2 arcmin added in quadrature).

The SVOM/ECLAIRs light curve showed a multiple peak structure with a T90 duration of 13.5 (-0.4/ +0.6) s in the 5-120 keV.

This burst also triggered SVOM/GRM at 2026-05-11T06:13:30 on a timescale of 1 seconds with an SNR of 12.10.

The SVOM/GRM light curve showed a multiple peak structure with a T90 duration of 14.3 (-0.4 / +0.8) s in the 8-1100 keV.

SVOM slewed to the burst.

SVOM/MXT began observing the field at 2026-05-11T06:16:38 UTC, 186 seconds after T0. Using onboard processed data we found an uncatalogued X-ray source located at R.A., Dec. 197.9145, -33.8120 degrees:
R.A. (J2000) = 13h11m39.48s
Dec. (J2000) = -33d48m43.09s
with a 90% C.L. radius of 39.05 arcseconds.

This location is 2.54 arcminutes from the ECLAIRs onboard position. This position may be improved as more data is received.

VT began observing the field after the slew. The analysis of the data will be published in a future circular.

The Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA), French Space Agency (CNES), and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. SVOM/ECLAIRs was developed jointly by CNES, CEA-IRFU, CNRS-IRAP, CNRS-APC. SVOM/GRM was developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS. SVOM/MXT was developed jointly by CNES, CEA-IRFU, CNRS-IJCLab, University of Leicester, MPE.
