The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 04:57:12 UT on 27 Apr 2021, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 210427A (trigger 641192237.991858 / 210427206).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 177.3, Dec = -53.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 11h 49m, -53d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.1 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 146.0 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 04:57:12 on 27 April 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) = 172.6+/-2.5 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = -54.4+/-1.7 deg
We estimate an additional systematic error of 1 deg.

During the commissioning phase, GECAM-B was triggered by a long GRB 210427A
at 2021-04-27T04:57:13.100 UTC (denoted as T0),
which was also observed by Fermi/GBM (GCN #29903).
GECAM alert data was promptly downlinked to the ground through the
short message service of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).
The time latency of the first BeiDou message relative to the trigger time
is about 1 minute.
According to the BDS alert data, this burst mainly consists of
multiple pulses with a duration of about 20s.
An automatic on-ground localization was calculated using the light curves
and spectrum. Although the in-flight calibration of energy response and
localization has not been finalized yet, GECAM-B localized this burst to
the following position (J2000):
ra: 175.26 deg
dec: -59.87 deg
err: 5.75 deg (statistical only)
The current systematic error of location is estimated to be several degrees
which could be minimized by the ongoing calibration.
The GECAM light curve could be found here:
http://twiki.ihep.ac.cn/pub/GECAM/GRBList/gecamb_lc_grd_all_combine_73198633.png
As the detailed science data are downloaded, all analyses would be improved.
Please note that all GECAM results here are preliminary. The final analysis
will be published in journal papers or GECAM online catalog.
Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor
(GECAM) mission consists of two small satellites (GECAM-A and GECAM-B) in
Low Earth Orbit (600 km, 29 deg), launched on Dec 10, 2020 (Beijing Time),
which was funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

The long-duration GRB 210427A
(Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 29903;
BALROG localization: Biltzinger et al., GCN Circ. 29905;
GECAM detection: Xie et al., GCN Circ. 29906)
was detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 641192237), Konus-Wind,
Swift (BAT), outside the coded FoV, Mars-Odyssey (HEND),
and GECAM-B at about 17832 s UT (04:57:12).
We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box
whose coordinates are:
---------------------------------------------
RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg
---------------------------------------------
Center:
177.792 (11h 51m 10s) -52.866 (-52d 51' 57")
Corners:
176.862 (11h 47m 27s) -54.591 (-54d 35' 28")
176.750 (11h 47m 00s) -54.533 (-54d 31' 59")
178.678 (11h 54m 43s) -51.138 (-51d 08' 18")
178.782 (11h 55m 08s) -51.196 (-51d 11' 46")
---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 1036 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 3.6 deg (the minimum one is 4.8 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 93 deg.
This box may be improved.
The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of, the
Fermi RoboBA and BALROG localizations (GCN Circ. 29903 and 29905).
It was inside the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)
field of view.
We thank Robert Wilson for pointing out the TESS/IPN coincidence.
