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

At 14:41:18 UT on 15 Feb 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230215A (trigger 698164883.649682 / 230215612).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 353.0, Dec = -5.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 23h 32m, -5d 05'), with a statistical uncertainty of 10.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 73.0 degrees.
