[Connaughton et al. 2015, ApJS, 216, 32] ).\n\nThis burst was also independently detected by INTEGRAL SPI-ACS.\n\nThe trigger resulted in an Autonomous Repoint Request (ARR)\nby the GBM Flight Software owing to the high fluence\nof the GRB. This ARR was accepted and the spacecraft slewed to the GBM in-flight\nlocation. The initial angle from the Fermi LAT boresight to\nthe GBM ground best location is 69 degrees.\n\nThe GBM light curve shows multiple overlapping pulses\nwith a duration (T90) of about 17.7 s (50-300 keV).\nThe time-averaged spectrum from T0 to T0+27.1 s is\nbest fit by a Band function with Epeak = 262 +/- 5 keV,\nalpha = -1.01+/- 0.01, and beta = -2.30 +/- 0.03.\n\nThe event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is\n(1.176 +/- 0.005)E-4 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured\nstarting from T0+15.9 s in the 10-1000 keV band\nis 169.4 +/- 0.7 ph/s/cm^2.\n\n\nThe spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;\nfinal results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog.\"",
