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

At 21:03:09 UT on 8 Nov 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 231108A (trigger 721170194.442402 / 231108877).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 104.8, Dec = 50.5 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 06h 59m, 50d 30'), with a statistical uncertainty of 18.6 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 102.0 degrees.
