"At 05:37:29.08 UT on 22 September 2015, the Fermi
Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located
GRB 150922A (trigger 464593053 / 150922234), which was
also detected by IPN (Svinkin et al. 2015, GCN 18357).
The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the IPN
position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is
about 38 degrees.
The GBM light curve shows a short burst with a
duration (T90) of 0.144 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged
spectrum from T0-0.016 to T0+0.128 s is best fit by a
power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff.
The power law index is -0.55 +/- 0.11 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 625 +/- 97 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval
is (8.0 +/- 0.4) E-07 erg/cm^2. The 64 ms peak photon
flux measured starting from T0-0.016 s in the 10-1000 keV
band is 23.0 +/- 1.3 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog."
