The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 22:35:27 UT on 18 Mar 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 200318A (trigger 606263732.221512 / 200318941).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 123.4, Dec = 59.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 08h 13m, 59d 06'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.0 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 14.0 degrees.

S. Gupta, V. Sharma and D. Bhattacharya (IUCAA), V. Bhalerao (IIT-B), A. R. Rao (TIFR) and S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration:
Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data showed the detection of a long GRB 200318A, which was also detected by Fermi GBM (GCN #27412).�����
The source was clearly detected in the 40-200 keV energy range. The light curve shows a single peak of emission peaking at�����2020-03-18�����22:35:27��� UT. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is�����197 +/- 21.6�����cts/s above the background in the combined data of four quadrants, with a total of�����990 +/- 48.8�����cts. The local mean background count rate was 566 +/- 3.1 cts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 10.1 +/- 0.33 s.
It was also detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range.
CZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at�����http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb. CZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, ISAC, IUCAA, SAC and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed and facilitated the project.
