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

At 21:53:10 UT on 17 Feb 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230217A (trigger 698363595.689472 / 230217912).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 278.8, Dec = -27.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 18h 35m, -27d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.0 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 56.0 degrees.
