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

At 02:19:59 UT on 29 Oct 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 241029A (trigger 751861204.86578 / 241029097).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 324.4, Dec = 6.6 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 21h 37m, 6d 35'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.2 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 81.0 degrees.
