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

At 10:33:42 UT on 28 Jan 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250128A (trigger 759753227.594888 / 250128440).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 284.0, Dec = 62.3 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 18h 56m, 62d 17'), with a statistical uncertainty of 5.4 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 109.0 degrees.

MASTER-Tunka robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Russia (Applied Physics Institute, Irkutsk State University) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 250128A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 39051) errorbox  568 sec after notice time and 595 sec after trigger time at 2025-01-28 10:43:38 UT, with upper limit up to  15.8 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 53 deg. The sun  altitude  is -8.6 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 23 deg., longitude l = 93 deg.
