GRB 200402B

F. Kunzweiler, B. Biltzinger, F. Berlato, J. Burgess & J. Greiner (all MPE Garching) report:

The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
607537834 at 16:30:29 on 02 April 2020 were automatically fitted for spectrum
and sky location with BALROG (Burgess et al. 2018, MNRAS 476, 1427;
Berlato et al. 2019, ApJ 873, 60).

The best-fit position (1 sigma statistical errors) is:
RA(2000.0) = 193.9+/-2.2 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = -10.1+/-2.7 deg
We estimate an additional systematic error of 1 deg.

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

At 16:30:29.65 UT on 2 Apr 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 200402B (trigger 607537834 / 200402688). This
trigger was initially classified as a particle event by the flight
software, but is in fact a GRB.

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA
= 190.1, Dec = -6.6 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 12h 40m, -06d 36'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 6.5 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 88 degrees.
