The Be/X-ray binary A0535+26 is currently being detected with Fermi/GBM. It was initially detected in pulsations on June 23, 2010, 20 days before the next periastron passage. The source was initially detected with Earth occultations on June 25 with a flux of about 150+/-40 mcrab (12-25 keV). The last detection before the current observations was during the previous 111.1 day orbital cycle (ATel #2541).
