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

At 09:06:59 UT on 9 Jun 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 200609A (trigger 613386424.308736 / 200609380).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 16.3, Dec = 67.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 01h 05m, 67d 24'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.4 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 150.0 degrees.

report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:

At 2020-06-09T09:06:48.050 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected 
GRB 200609A (trigger ID: HEB200609379) in a routine search of the data, 
which also triggered Fermi/GBM (GCN #27909).

The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of multiple 
pulses with a duration (T90) of 82.18 s measured from T0-42.67 s. 
The 1-ms peak rate, measured from T0+10.58 s, is 1241 cnts/sec. 
The total counts from this burst is 17682 counts.

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the 
GRB mode with the energy range of about 200-3000 keV (record 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).
