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

At 11:03:06 UT on 27 Jul 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230727A (trigger 712148591.84604 / 230727460).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 323.8, Dec = 73.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 21h 35m, 73d 42'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.2 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 100.0 degrees.
