report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:
"At 05:49:17.01 UT on 31 March 2025, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 250331D (trigger 765092962 / 250331243),
which was also detected by the Swift/BAT-GUANO (Ronchini et al. 2025, GCN 39979).
The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 27 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of a single emission episode
with a duration (T90) of about 9 s (50-300 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-2.5 s to T0+6.4 s is
adequately fit by a power law function with an exponential
high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.12 +/- 0.27 and
the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 91 +/- 20 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(6.1 +/- 0.8)E-07 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0-0.64 s in the 10-1000 keV band
is 2.2 +/- 0.2 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
