report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:
"At 10:29:53.55 UT on 28 September 2014, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
triggered and located GRB 140928A (trigger 433592996 / 140928437) which
was also detected by Fermi/LAT (Desiante et al. 2014, GCN 16847) and Swift
(Pagani et al. 2014, GCN 16848). The GBM on-ground location is consistent
with the LAT/Swift position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 110 degrees.
This burst was also independently detected by INTEGRAL SPI-ACS.
The GBM light curve shows a structured pulse
with a duration (T90) of about 14 s (50-300 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-3.072 s to T0+8.192 s is
best fit by a power law function with an exponential
high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.12 +/- 0.13 and
the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 732 +/- 72 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
1.02 +/- 0.04)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1.024-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+5.12 s in the 10-1000 keV band
is 4.8 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^2.
A Band function fits the spectrum equally well with Epeak= 671 +/- 82 keV,
alpha = -0.05 (+0.16/-0.13) and beta = -2.6 (+0.3/-0.4).
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog."
