2026-01-09T08:52:04.748Z | rev 0 | event: GRB 260109B

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

At 08:41:22 UT on 9 Jan 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260109B (trigger 789640887.356258 / 260109362).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 197.5, Dec = -73.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 13h 09m, -73d 54'), with a statistical uncertainty of 13.7 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 54.0 degrees.
