The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 11:15:23 UT on 20 Feb 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240220A (trigger 730120528.966366 / 240220469).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 55.2, Dec = 26.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 03h 40m, 26d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.2 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 77.0 degrees.
