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

At 04:40:15 UT on 27 Feb 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240227A (trigger 730701620.164308 / 240227195).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 69.6, Dec = -61.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 04h 38m, -61d 12'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.6 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 13.0 degrees.
