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

At 06:20:54 UT on 4 Mar 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230304A (trigger 699603659.15977 / 230304265).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 29.2, Dec = 32.8 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 01h 56m, 32d 47'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.6 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 103.0 degrees.
