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

At 01:16:17 UT on 5 Sep 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240905A (trigger 747191782.094466 / 240905053).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 270.5, Dec = -24.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 18h 02m, -24d 41'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 66.0 degrees.
