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

At 07:56:12 UT on 13 Sep 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230913A (trigger 716284577.16364 / 230913331).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 287.6, Dec = 78.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 19h 10m, 78d 54'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.5 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 41.0 degrees.
