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

At 14:27:58 UT on 7 Feb 2021, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 210207A (trigger 634400883.983828 / 210207603).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 138.0, Dec = 4.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 09h 11m, 4d 42'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.0 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 89.0 degrees.

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

The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
 at 14:27:58 on 07 Feb. 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) = 145.7+/-2.6 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = -1.4+/-2.6 deg
We estimate an additional systematic error of 1 deg.
