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

At 18:26:43 UT on 9 Dec 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 241209E (trigger 755461608.700102 / 241209769).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 53.1, Dec = 7.6 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 03h 32m, 7d 35'), with a statistical uncertainty of 9.8 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 57.0 degrees.
