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

At 08:59:06 UT on 16 Jan 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230116B (trigger 695552351.674084 / 230116374).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 113.6, Dec = -40.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 07h 34m, -40d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 102.0 degrees.
