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

At 16:18:20 UT on 23 Feb 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250223C (trigger 762020305.175056 / 250223679).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 262.6, Dec = 41.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 17h 30m, 41d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 5.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 41.0 degrees.
