A. C. Trigg (LSU), U. Pathak (IITB) reports on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:

"At 09:57:46.56 UT on 03 January 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 250103A (trigger 757591071/250103415).
which was also detected by SVOM (Y. Wang et al. 2025, GCN 38787).
The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the SVOM/ECLAIRs position.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 28 degrees.

The GBM light curve an initial emission followed by two smaller peaks with a duration (T90)
of about 118 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-7.6 to T0+112.3 s is best fit by
a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff.
The power law index is -1.75 +/- 0.09 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 33 +/- 5 keV.

The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(5.5 +/- 0.3)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+4.3 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 2.8 +/- 0.2 ph/s/cm^2.

A Band function fits the spectrum equally well
with Epeak= 32 +/- 4 keV, alpha = -1.70+/- 0.13 and beta = -2.65 +/- 0.38.

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