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

At 16:46:11 UT on 8 Aug 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230808B (trigger 713205976.382378 / 230808699).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 204.7, Dec = -22.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 13h 38m, -22d 11'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.4 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 48.0 degrees.
