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

At 13:06:30 UT on 16 Mar 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230316A (trigger 700664795.31625 / 230316546).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 273.1, Dec = -64.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 18h 12m, -64d 54'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.7 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 54.0 degrees.
