F. Kunzweiler, B. Biltzinger, F. Berlato, J. Burgess & J. Greiner (all MPE Garching) report:

The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
581026217 at 20:10:12 on 31 May 2019 were automatically fitted for spectrum
and sky location with BALROG (Burgess et al. 2018, MNRAS 476, 1427;
Berlato et al. 2019, ApJ 873, 60).

The best-fit position (1 sigma statistical errors) is:
RA(2000.0) = 27.9+/-0.8 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = -40.8+/-0.6 deg
We estimate an additional systematic error of 2 deg.

Fermi GBM Team at MSFC/Fermi-GBM <do_not_reply@GIOC.nsstc.nasa.gov>
The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB

At 07:29:11 UT on 31 May 2019, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 190531A (trigger 580980556.825258 / 190531312).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 21.1, Dec = 16.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 01h 24m, 16d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.2 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 57.0 degrees.
