Jacob Smith (UAH), B. Mailyan (Florida Tech) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 16:06:54.00 UT on 05 October 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 251005C (trigger 781373219/251005671),
which was also detected by Swift BAT (K. L. Page et al. 2025, GCN 42113).
The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift BAT position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 98 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of a double emission episode with a duration (T90)
of about 6 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0+0.003 to T0+5.248 s is best fit by
a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff.
The power law index is -0.9 +/- 0.1 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 2136 +/- 866 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(3.2 +/- 0.2)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 64-millisec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+0.58 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 6.1 +/- 1.2 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
