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

At 09:49:21 UT on 5 Mar 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240305A (trigger 731324966.26389 / 240305409).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 21.1, Dec = -42.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 01h 24m, -42d 06'), with a statistical uncertainty of 9.8 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 67.0 degrees.
