2026-09-17T02:34:35.898Z | rev 0 | event: GRB 260917A

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

At 02:24:08 UT on 17 Sep 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260917A (trigger 811304653.400746 / 260917100).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 311.6, Dec = -32.8 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 20h 46m, -32d 47'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.7 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 121.0 degrees.
