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

At 16:28:43 UT on 1 Mar 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230301B (trigger 699380928.235244 / 230301687).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 66.6, Dec = -7.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 04h 26m, -7d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 9.6 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 31.0 degrees.
