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

At 01:16:17 UT on 5 Sep 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240905A (trigger 747191782.094466 / 240905053).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 270.5, Dec = -24.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 18h 02m, -24d 41'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 66.0 degrees.

report on behalf of the SVOM team:

During the commissioning phase, the SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by GRB 240905A (SVOM trigger reference: sb24090501) at 2024-09-05T01:16:38.000 UT (T0), which was also observed by Fermi/GBM (GCN 37386).

The real-time alert data and light curves of SVOM/GRM were downlinked to the ground through the VHF system with low latency. As SVOM/GRM was occulted by the Earth during the early stage of this burst, the light curve only consists of a single pulse with a duration of about 4 s.

The SVOM/GRM light curve can be found here:

At the time of the burst ECLAIRs was not in operational mode.

The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. GRM is developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.
