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

At 19:55:53 UT on 29 Aug 2019, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 190829A (trigger 588801358.125594 / 190829830).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 45.6, Dec = -7.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 03h 02m, -7d 05'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.2 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 30.0 degrees.
