The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely Long GRB.
"At 05:36:20.95 UT on 27 September 2022, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
(GBM) triggered and located GRB220927A (trigger 685949785 / 220927234).
The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger data, is RA =
96.2, DEC = -22.5 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to 6h 24m, -22d 30'), with a
statistical uncertainty of 1 degrees (radius, 1-sigma containment,
statistical only; there is additionally a systematic error which we have
characterized as a core-plus-tail model, with 90% of GRBs having a 3.7 deg
error and a small tail suffering a larger than 10 deg systematic error.
[Connaughton et al. 2015, ApJS, 216, 32] ).
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 57
degrees.
