Arne Rau (MPE) and Charles Meegan (USRA) report on behalf of the Fermi
GBM Team:
"At 14:51:55.02 UT on 22 December 2011, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
triggered and located GRB 111222A (trigger 346258317 / 111222619). The
burst
was was also detected by the 3rd Interplanetary Network (Hurley et al.
2011, GCN 12714)
and The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the IPN position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 136 degrees. Moreover, this
burst was bright
enough to result in a Fermi spacecraft autonomous rapid repoint (ARR)
maneuver.
The GBM light curve shows a single pulse with a duration (T90) of about
0.32 s (50-300 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.064 s to T0+0.320 s is best fit by
a power law
function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is
-0.38 +/- 0.06
and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 725 +/- 45 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.502 +/-
0.034)E-05 erg/cm^2.
The 64-msec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+0.0 s in the
10-1000 keV band
is 60.2 +/- 3.4 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final
results will be published
in the GBM GRB Catalog."
