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

At 12:22:47 UT on 6 Dec 2022, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 221206B (trigger 692022172.359134 / 221206516).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 255.1, Dec = 44.5 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 17h 00m, 44d 30'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.0 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 129.0 degrees.
