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

At 15:16:27 UT on 15 Jun 2019, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 190615A (trigger 582304592.372344 / 190615636).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 191.4, Dec = 49.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 12h 45m, 49d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.3 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 122.0 degrees.

report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:

At 2019-06-15T15:16:27.00 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected 
GRB 190615A (trigger ID: HEB190615636) in a routine search of the data, 
which was also triggered by Fermi/GBM (GCN #24839). 

The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of a single 
pulse with a duration (T90) of 16.33 s measured from T0-1.65 s. 
The 1-ms peak rate, measured from T0+7.80 s, is 606 cnts/sec. 
The total counts from this burst is 4626 counts.

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the 
regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (deposited energy). 
Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate 
the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside 
of the telescope. 

Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was 
funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and 
the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
