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

At 18:29:53 UT on 2 Jun 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260602A (trigger 802117798.896848 / 260602771).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 26.3, Dec = 48.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 01h 45m, 48d 42'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.0 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 28.0 degrees.
