Jacob Smith (UAH) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
At 22:30:23.12 UT on 26 February 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 250226B (trigger 762301828/250226938).
which was also detected by INTEGRAL SPI-ACS (J. Rodi, et al. 2025, GCN 39519) and Swift/BAT-GUANO (S. Ronchini, et al., 2025, GCN 39673).
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 71 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of multiple peaks with a duration (T90)
of about 26 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0+0.003 to T0+27.457 s is best fit by
a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff.
The power law index is -1.09 +/- 0.03 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 1688 +/- 250 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(1.60 +/- 0.03)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+1.7 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 9.7 +/- 0.2 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
