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

At 08:50:32 UT on 30 Apr 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230430B (trigger 704537437 / 230430368).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 113.9 Dec = -31.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 7h 36m, -31d 12'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.02 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 27 degrees.
