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

At 10:59:44 UT on 9 Dec 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 241209D (trigger 755434789.093062 / 241209458).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 191.7, Dec = -2.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 12h 46m, -2d 12'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.9 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 80.0 degrees.
