The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 05:21:59 UT on 21 Apr 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240421A (trigger 735369724.901026 / 240421224).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 314.2, Dec = -80.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 20h 56m, -80d 12'), with a statistical uncertainty of 7.5 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 140.0 degrees.
