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

At 05:44:03 UT on 15 Jul 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240715A (trigger 742715048.256066 / 240715239).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 8.4, Dec = -29.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 00h 33m, -29d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.0 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 75.0 degrees.
