Jacob Smith (UAH) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:

At 23:36:17.17 UT on 19 June 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 250619B (trigger 772068982/250619984).
which was also detected by Swift/BAT-GUANO (J. DeLaunay et al. 2025, GCN 40795).
The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift/BAT-GUANO position.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 48 degrees.

The GBM light curve consists of a double emission episode with a duration (T90)
of about 29 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-1 to T0+28.7 s is best fit by
a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff.
The power law index is -1.1 +/- 0.2 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 67 +/- 9 keV. A Band function fits the spectrum 
equally well with Epeak = 57 +/- 13 keV, alpha = -1 +/- 0.4 and beta = -2.5 +/- 0.4.

The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(1.4 +/- 0.1)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0-0.32 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:
