//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 29088 SUBJECT: GRB 201218B: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization DATE: 20/12/18 19:19:33 GMT FROM: Fermi GBM Team at MSFC/Fermi-GBM The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB At 19:09:13 UT on 18 Dec 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 201218B (trigger 630011358.922416 / 201218798). The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 82.2, Dec = 26.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 05h 28m, 26d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 5.7 degrees. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 60.0 degrees.
