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

At 06:05:21 UT on 29 Jan 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230129A (trigger 696665126.147626 / 230129254).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 111.9, Dec = 2.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 07h 27m, 2d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 22.6 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 76.0 degrees.
