GCN 44031: GRB 260316B: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization

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

At 17:12:52 UT on 16 Mar 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260316B (trigger 795373977.681026 / 260316717).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 305.5, Dec = -79.3 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 20h 22m, -79d 17'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.2 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 81.0 degrees.
