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

At 16:44:27 UT on 26 Dec 2022, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 221226A (trigger 693765872.056908 / 221226698).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 68.2, Dec = 34.8 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 04h 32m, 34d 47'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.2 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 97.0 degrees.
