The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 10:49:12 UT on 8 Aug 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230808A (trigger 713184557.782692 / 230808451).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 81.6, Dec = 58.5 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 05h 26m, 58d 30'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.2 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 36.0 degrees.
