GCN 44109: GRID detection of GRB 260320A

Longhao Li, Yuchen He, Chenyu Wang, Zirui Yang report on behalf of the GRID Collaboration:

GRID-11B reports the detection of the long-duration GRB 260320A, which was also detected by Glowbug gamma-ray(C.C. Cheung et al.,GCN#44093), Insight-HXMT/HE (Xinghao Luo et al., GCN #44077) and NuSTAR (G. Waratkar et al., GCN #44064).

The event was triggered with GRID on  2026-03-20 at 19:40:04.5 UTC. The measured burst duration (T90) in the 30-2000 keV range is approximately 9.9 +/- 1.8 seconds from GRID-11B . 

At present, only the GRID light curve is available. No spectral analysis is reported at this stage. The GRID light curve of this event can be found at https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/GRID/data/GRID-GCN/GRB260320A/GRID_260320A_ltcv.pdf
