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

At 01:14:17 UT on 8 Feb 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 200208A (trigger 602817262.086318 / 200208052).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 26.7, Dec = 25.3 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 01h 46m, 25d 18'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.2 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 59.0 degrees.
