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

At 10:22:03 UT on 27 Feb 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230227A (trigger 699186128.22906 / 230227432).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 348.0, Dec = -50.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 23h 11m, -50d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.8 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 120.0 degrees.
