reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:
"At 05:04:40.72 UT on 30 November 2008, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
triggered and located GRB 081130 (trigger 249714281 / 081130212).
The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger
data, is RA = 37.0, DEC = +46.0 (J2000 degrees,
equivalent to 02h 28m, 46d 00'), with an uncertainty
of 5.0 degrees (radius, 1-sigma containment,
statistical only; there is additionally a systematic
error which is currently estimated to be 2 to 3 degrees).
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 90 degrees.
Since the source is soft and weak, the time-averaged spectrum
is poorly constrained."
