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

At 06:52:13 UT on 9 Sep 2022, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 220909A (trigger 684399138.822486 / 220909286).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 212.4, Dec = -17.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 14h 09m, -17d 41'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.3 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 56.0 degrees.
