Fermi GBM detects gamma-ray burst with uncertain localization near Galactic Center
AI Summary
Fermi GBM triggered on a gamma-ray burst at 2026-10-10 04:36:54 UTC (TrigID 813299819). The first three refined position notices classify the source as Galactic Center with 83-96% confidence, though localization uncertainty increases over successive refinements (5.4° to 30.3° error radius). A fourth notice flags the location as unreliable. The burst shows variable intensity (48-468 counts) and hardness ratios (0-73.29), with timescales ranging from 16 ms to 4.1 s, suggesting either a weak or poorly-localized event. No ground-generated positions or follow-up circulars are currently available.
