The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 23:39:22 UT on 16 Oct 2022, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 221016A (trigger 687656367.709164 / 221016986).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 37.6, Dec = -32.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 02h 30m, -32d 06'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.2 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 98.0 degrees.
