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

At 01:36:16 UT on 29 Dec 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 241229B (trigger 757128981.063788 / 241229067).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 275.0, Dec = 62.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 18h 19m, 62d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 27.0 degrees.
