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

At 11:21:18 UT on 16 Dec 2022, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 221216A (trigger 692882483.183742 / 221216473).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 276.3, Dec = -58.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 18h 25m, -58d 06'), with a statistical uncertainty of 5.7 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 139.0 degrees.
