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

At 12:59:25 UT on 12 Jan 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240112B (trigger 726757170.415726 / 240112541).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 8.2, Dec = -65.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 00h 32m, -65d 54'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.4 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 150.0 degrees.
