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

At 14:53:06 UT on 1 Jan 2021, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 210101A (trigger 631205591.859738 / 210101620).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 136.7, Dec = 50.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 09h 06m, 50d 06'), with a statistical uncertainty of 4.6 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 147.0 degrees.

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
631205591 at 14:53:06 on 01 Jan. 2021 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) = 149.6+/-3.8 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = 53.1+/-2.4 deg
We estimate an additional systematic error of 1 deg.
