AI Summary
Fermi GBM detected a long gamma-ray burst (T90=86s, Ep=175 keV, Eiso=9.8×10⁵⁰ erg) on 2026-03-10 at 04:57:10 UTC, with optical counterpart AT2026fgk identified at redshift z=0.153. Multi-wavelength follow-up revealed a bright, evolving optical/infrared afterglow with clear supernova features emerging by day 17, classified as Type Ic-BL SN near maximum light. X-ray observations detected a rebrightening episode around day 8-10, with radio detections showing strong emission across cm to mm wavelengths, consistent with a standard GRB afterglow powered by a massive star collapse.

· Mon, 04 May 2026 19:46:05 GMT
The optical counterpart of GRB 260310A was detected 21 days after the trigger in the R filter with a magnitude of about 21.8. The absolute magnitude at the redshift of z=0.153 is not fainter than M_R = -17.5. The afterglow was initially suggested to have a power-law decay with a decay index of -2.1, but this may be affected by the still glowing optical counterpart.

A team of astronomers led by Rahul Jayaraman at Cornell University reports the detection of temporal steepening in X-ray data from the Einstein Probe observatory for GRB 260310A, which is associated with the optical transient AT2026fgk. The X-ray decay slope steepened from roughly -0.3 to -1.6 around 8 ± 2 days after the burst. This steepening is contemporaneous with a similar epoch post-burst steepening observed in r-band photometric data from the Palomar P60 telescope.

GRB 260310A, a gamma-ray burst detected by Fermi's GBM, has been classified as a long burst based on its duration (T90 = 86s), peak energy (Ep = 175 keV), and isotropic energy release (Eiso = 9.8e50 erg). Its location on the Ep-Eiso diagram is consistent with long bursts, but its position on the EH-T90 diagram is also within the 2 sigma regions for short bursts.

Astronomers using the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and the OSIRIS+ instrument have confirmed a redshift of z = 0.153 for the optical counterpart AT2026fgk of GRB 260310A. This measurement, which consolidates a previous report, rules out a redshift larger than 0.3 for a long GRB sight line. The transient is located in the outskirts of a galaxy, at a projected distance of ~13.5 kpc from the galaxy core, which is larger than typical for collapsar origins but not unprecedented. The findings suggest that GRB 260310A may have had a merger progenitor.

A group of astronomers led by Enrique Moreno Méndez from UNAM and CPPM observed the possible counterpart of GRB 260310A using the DDRAGO imager on the COLIBRÍ telescope. They detected the source, named AT 2026fgk, with magnitudes of g=18.53, r=18.15, i=17.95, z=17.74, and y=17.63 in the grizY filters. The source is projected to be 11.3 kpc from a nearby galaxy with a photo-z of approximately 0.11 and a likely spectroscopic redshift of 0.153. The association of AT 2026fgk with GRB 260310A is supported by its colors and its low probability of chance alignment with the nearby galaxy.

Astronomers have identified the optical counterpart of GRB 260310A using spectroscopic observations with the Next Generation Palomar Spectrograph on the Palomar 5.1m Hale Telescope. The redshift of the candidate host galaxy is 0.153, making it one of the closest long-duration gamma-ray bursts to date. The optical spectrum shows a featureless red continuum with a strong, narrow H-alpha emission line at 7566 Angstroms. The gamma-ray fluence and peak observed optical luminosity suggest that this is a low-luminosity long-GRB.

On March 10, 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) detected a gamma-ray burst (GRB 260310A) at a redshift of 0.11. The burst, which was also observed by AstroSat, AstroSat-GOTO, and AstroSat-LAST, had a duration of approximately 60 seconds and a peak photon flux of 2.3 ph/s/cm^2 in the 10-1000 keV band. Preliminary spectral analysis revealed a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff, with a power law index of -0.15 and a cutoff energy of 172 keV. The event fluence in the 10-1000 keV range was (5.8 +/- 0.4)E-06 erg/cm^2.

A long gamma-ray burst (GRB 260310A) was detected by the AstroSat CZTI collaboration using data from the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector. The burst, also detected by Fermi GBM, occurred in the 100-500 keV energy range and peaked at 2026-03-10 04:57:12.05 UTC. The measured peak count rate was 273 (+67, -57) counts/s above the background, with a total of 2709 (+573, -589) counts. The source was also detected in the 20-200 keV energy range. This detection highlights the capabilities of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration in detecting and analyzing gamma-ray bursts.

Two MASTER robotic telescopes in Russia, MASTER-Tunka and MASTER-Kislovodsk, observed Fermi GRB 260310A after receiving notice from the Fermi GBM team. The observations began at zenith distances and sun altitudes specific to each telescope location. The upper limits of magnitude detected were 19.9 for MASTER-Tunka and 18.3 for MASTER-Kislovodsk.
