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

At 04:13:05 UT on 28 Dec 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 241228B (trigger 757051990.391412 / 241228176).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 122.2, Dec = 14.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 08h 08m, 14d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.7 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 49.0 degrees.
