The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 23:39:16 UT on 31 Jul 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230731A (trigger 712539561.432998 / 230731986).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 237.3, Dec = -58.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 15h 49m, -58d 53'), with a statistical uncertainty of 8.3 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 111.0 degrees.
