2026-09-26T19:06:22.271Z | rev 0 | event: GRB 260926B

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

At 18:55:49 UT on 26 Sep 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260926B (trigger 812141754.92478 / 260926789).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 184.2, Dec = 4.8 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 12h 16m, 4d 47'), with a statistical uncertainty of 11.6 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 100.0 degrees.
