"At 23:39:22.71 UT on 16 October 2022, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 221016A (trigger 687656367/221016986),
which was also detected by the Swift/BAT (Page et al. GCN 32774).
The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization (GCN 32773)
is consistent with the Swift position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight
at the GBM trigger time is 98 degrees.
The GBM light curve shows a single emission episode
with a duration (T90) of about 13 s (50-300 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-1.2 s to T0+11 s is
best fit by a Band function with Epeak = 119 +/- 12 keV,
alpha = -0.51 +/- 0.12, and beta = -2.11 +/- 0.11.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(6.3 +/- 0.3)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+1.8 s in the 10-1000 keV band
is 7.4 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
