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

At 22:47:49 UT on 28 Jan 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230128A (trigger 696638874.07722 / 230128950).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 197.6, Dec = 61.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 13h 10m, 61d 42'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.3 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 90.0 degrees.
