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

At 17:51:45 UT on 15 Jun 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240615A (trigger 740166710.052962 / 240615744).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 335.4, Dec = 42.5 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 22h 21m, 42d 30'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.8 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 17.0 degrees.
