R. Sonawane (IISER, TVM), R. Hamburg (USRA) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 10:19:23.76 UT on 23 February 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 250223B (trigger 761998768/250223430).
which was also detected by Swift/BAT-GUANO (DeLaunay et al. 2025, GCN 39671).
The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift/BAT position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 56 degrees.
The GBM light curve consist of multiple spikes with a duration (T90)
of about 2.4 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-1.0 to T0+1.7 s is best fit by
a simple power law function with index -1.24 +/- 0.07.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(3.9 +/- 0.6)E-07 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+1.2 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 2.9 +/- 1.1 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
