The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 04:21:43 UT on 21 Mar 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230321A (trigger 701065308.721614 / 230321182).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 74.8, Dec = 28.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 04h 59m, 28d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.2 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 53.0 degrees.

F. Kunzweiler, B. Biltzinger, F. Berlato, J. Burgess & J. Greiner (all MPE Garching) report:
The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
701065308 at 04:21:43 on 21 Mar. 2023 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) = 65.24+/-1.54 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = 31.70+/-1.26 deg
We estimate an additional systematic error of 2 deg.

The long GRB 230321A (Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization:
Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 33490; BALROG localization: Kunzweiler et al.,

at 04:21:42.09 UTC on 21 March 2023
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1363407527/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts
at T+1.0 sec, peaks at T+31.9 sec, and ends at T+86.6 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 75.5 +/- 1.2 sec
and 35.4 +/- 3.1 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.
The ground-processed light curve is available at
