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

At 05:03:23 UT on 21 May 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230521A (trigger 706338208.733194 / 230521211).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 37.0, Dec = 7.6 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 02h 28m, 7d 35'), with a statistical uncertainty of 7.8 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 54.0 degrees.
