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

At 00:34:08 UT on 6 Jan 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240106A (trigger 726194053.403458 / 240106024).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 8.0, Dec = 53.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 00h 32m, 53d 42'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.7 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 17.0 degrees.
