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

At 00:05:29 UT on 17 Mar 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250317A (trigger 763862734.52183 / 250317004).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 148.2, Dec = -25.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 09h 52m, -25d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.3 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 23.0 degrees.
