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

At 10:09:11 UT on 3 Jun 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240603C (trigger 739102156.345702 / 240603423).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 272.6, Dec = -35.8 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 18h 10m, -35d 47'), with a statistical uncertainty of 2.9 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 84.0 degrees.

T. Preis, B. Biltzinger, J. Burgess & J. Greiner (all MPE Garching) report:

The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
739102156 at 10:09:11 on 03 June 2024 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 is:
RA(2000.0) = 275.5 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = -35.3 deg
The 1 sigma statistical error radius is 2.5 deg.
We estimate an additional systematic error of 1 deg.
