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

At 15:44:06 UT on 7 Mar 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230307A (trigger 699896651.671248 / 230307656).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 54.1, Dec = -76.6 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 03h 36m, -76d 35'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.0 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 142.0 degrees.
