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

At 05:40:08 UT on 10 Mar 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240310A (trigger 731742013.593492 / 240310236).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 312.5, Dec = -4.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 20h 49m, -4d 54'), with a statistical uncertainty of 10.5 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 87.0 degrees.

in MASTER-Amur, MASTER-SAAO, AMSTER-Tunka, MASTER-Kislovodsk, MASTER-Tavrida

During inspection inside 3-sigma error-box (see map in GCN35910)
MASTER auto-detection system found new OT, not presented in MASTER database since 2003, in VIZIER, in CRTS database

MASTER OT J200702.72-263928.7 / AT2024efb discovery

OT source at (RA, Dec) = 20h 07m 02.72s -26d 39m 28.7s on 2024-03-12.06429 UT.

The OT unfiltered magnitude is 16.8m at 3 images (mlim=18.7).

There is no minor planet at this place (we excluded 1999CO47 with m_V=20.8m in 14.4"W,0.6"N ).

We used reference image on 2018-10-07.86227 UT with  unfiltered mlim=19.9m between thousands archive images.

Spectral observations are required.

the association of this object with the gamma ray burst is not obvious
