Peter Veres (UAH) reports on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 01:36:16.06 UT on 29 December 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 241229B (trigger 757128981/241229067).
which was also detected by Swift BAT (H. A. Krimm et al. 2024, GCN 38699).
The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift BAT position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 39 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of a single emission episode with a duration (T90)
of about 6 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-5.1 to T0+4.1 s is best fit by
a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff.
The power law index is -0.7 +/- 0.2 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 76 +/- 5 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(1.24 +/- 0.06)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 6.1 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
