"At 15:09:22.53 UT on 29 January 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 240129A (trigger 728233767/240129632), which was also
detected by Swift/BAT-GUANO (DeLaunay et al. 2024, GCN 35653).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 108.02, Dec = 34.60 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to
J2000 07h 12m, 34d 36'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.18 degrees.
(radius, 1-sigma containment, statistical only; there is additionally a
systematic error which we have characterized as a core-plus-tail model,
with 90% of GRBs having a 3.7 deg error and a small tail suffering a larger
than 10 deg systematic error [Connaughton et al. 2015, ApJS, 216, 32]).

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 114 degrees.

The GBM light curve of a single emission episode with a duration (T90)
of about 28 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0+6.1 to T0+21.5 s is best fit by
a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff.
The power law index is -1.24 +/- 0.09 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 74 +/- 6 keV.

The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(4.6 +/- 0.2)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+0.38 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 4.9 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^2.

The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
