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

At 07:09:54 UT on 22 Dec 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 231222A (trigger 724921799.613468 / 231222299).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 161.4, Dec = -36.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 10h 45m, -36d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.2 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 91.0 degrees.
