TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 45365 SUBJECT: GRB 260810A: Glowbug gamma-ray detection DATE: 26/08/12 19:05:46 GMT FROM: C.C. Cheung at Naval Research Lab <Teddy.Cheung@nrl.navy.mil> C.C. Cheung, R. Woolf, M. Kerr, J.E. Grove (NRL), A. Goldstein (USRA), C.A. Wilson-Hodge, D. Kocevski (MSFC), and M.S. Briggs (UAH) report: The Glowbug gamma-ray telescope [1,2,3], operating on the International Space Station, reports the detection of GRB 260810A, which was also detected by AstroSat (GCN 45363). Using an adaptive window with a resolution of 32-ms, the burst onset is determined to be 2026-08-10 19:09:41.760 with a duration of 19.5 s and a total significance of about 178 sigma. The light curve comprises a multi-peaked structure with maxima at ~T0+1s and ~T0+9.5s. The analysis results presented here are preliminary and use a response function that lacks a detailed characterization of the surrounding passive structure of the ISS. Glowbug is a NASA-funded technology demonstrator for sensitive, low-cost gamma-ray transient telescopes developed, built, and operated by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) with support from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, USRA, and NASA MSFC. It was launched on 2023 March 15 aboard the Department of Defense Space Test Program’s STP-H9 to the ISS and operated until 2024 April when it was put in safe storage on orbit. Glowbug was removed from storage and resumed operation on 2025 September 12. [1] Grove, J.E. et al. 2020, Proc. Yamada Conf. LXXI, arXiv:2009.11959 [2] Woolf, R.S. et al. 2022, Proc.
