The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 16:59:13 UT on 14 Jan 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230114A (trigger 695408358.896514 / 230114708).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 236.3, Dec = 3.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 15h 45m, 3d 53'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.5 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 80.0 degrees.

The long-duration GRB 230114A (Fermi/GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team,
GCN Circ. 33168; INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS detection peak at 2023-01-14 ~16:59:14
UT) was detected by the GRB detector on board of the VZLUSAT-2 3U
CubeSat (https://www.vzlusat2.cz/en/).
The data acquisition was performed by GRB detector unit no. 1 and the
detection was confirmed at the peak time 2023-01-14 16:59:17 UTC. The
T90 duration was measured to be 5 s with the light curve resolution of 1
s. The significance during T90 reaches 6.7 sigma.
The light curve obtained by VZLUSAT-2 is available here:

All VZLUSAT-2 detections are listed at:
https://monoceros.physics.muni.cz/hea/VZLUSAT-2/
The GRB detectors on VZLUSAT-2 are a demonstration payload for a future
constellation of CubeSats (Werner et al. Proc. SPIE 2018). Two GRB
modules of VZLUSAT-2 are placed in a perpendicular manner and each
consists of a 75 x 75 x 5 mm3 CsI scintillator read out by a SiPM array,
covering the energy range from ~30 keV to ~1000 keV. VZLUSAT-2 was
launched on 2022 January 13 from Cape Canaveral.
