L. Scotton (UAH) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:

"At 03:57:10.17 UT on 28 December 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 241228A (trigger 757051035/241228165),
which was also detected by Swift BAT (V. D'Elia et al. 2024, GCN 38681).
The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift BAT position.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 55 degrees.

The GBM light curve consists of a minor triggering episode 
followed by a two-peak episode, with a duration (T90)
of about 8.3 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-0.5 to T0+10.9 s is best fit by
a Band function with Epeak = 66 +/- 3 keV,
alpha = -0.68 +/- 0.08, and beta = -2.8 +/- 0.1.

The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(5.6 +/- 0.2)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+7.0 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 19.9 +/- 0.4 ph/s/cm^2.

The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
