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

At 20:28:59 UT on 26 Apr 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230426A (trigger 704233744.96626 / 230426853).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 38.5, Dec = -82.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 02h 34m, -82d 24'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.0 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 49.0 degrees.
