P. Veres (UAH), R. Hamburg (CNRS/IN2P3), A. Myers (NPP/GSFC) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 17:37:25.12 UT on 12 January 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 240112C (trigger 726773850/240112734). GRB 240112C
was also localized by Swift BAT and XRT (Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN #35522).
The Fermi GBM on-ground Localization is consistent with the Swift position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 43 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of two pulses with a duration (T90)
of about 5.3 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-0.6 to T0+6.3 s is best fit by
a Band function with with Epeak= 71 +/- 6 keV, alpha = -1.26 +/- 0.08
and beta = -2.34 +/- 0.10.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(4.8 +/- 0.1)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0-0.064 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 20.2 +/- 0.4 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
