GCN 44415: GRB 260428A: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization

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

At 14:20:35 UT on 28 Apr 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260428A (trigger 799078840.683444 / 260428598).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 277.0, Dec = 1.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 18h 27m, 1d 53'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 88.0 degrees.
