TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 9744 SUBJECT: GRB 090802B: Fermi GBM detection DATE: 09/08/03 22:04:39 GMT FROM: Alexander van der Horst at NASA/MSFC A.J. van der Horst (NASA/MSFC/ORAU) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 15:58:23.44 UT on 2 August 2009, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located GRB 090208B (trigger 270921505 / 090802666). The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger data, is RA = 267.0, DEC = -71.8 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to 17h48m, -71d46'), with an uncertainty of 10.7 degrees (radius, 1-sigma containment, statistical only; there is additionally a systematic error which is currently estimated to be 2 to 3 degrees). The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 104 degrees. Since the source is weak, the time-averaged spectrum is poorly constrained."
