Jacob Smith (UAH) reports on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
At 23:54:41.80 UT on 17 February 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 250217C (trigger 761529286/250217996).
which was also detected by AstroSat (M. Tembhurnikar, et al. 2025, GCN 39359) and IPN triangulation (A.S. Kozyrev, et al. 2025, GCN 39365).
The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the IPN triangulation.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 100 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of a double emission episode with a duration (T90)
of about 0.35 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-0.06 to T0+0.38 s is best fit by
a Band function with Epeak = 85 +/- 13 keV,
alpha = -0.2 +/- 0.3, and beta = -1.83 +/- 0.04.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(1.68 +/- 0.05)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+0.0 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 62 +/- 3 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
