O. Mukherjee (USRA), C. Meegan (UAH), U. Pathak (IIT Bombay) and L. Scotton (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:

"At 07:08:21.91 UT on 11 October 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 251011B (trigger 781859306/251011297).
which was also detected by Swift BAT (A. D'Ai et al. 2025, GCN 42197), 
and Swift XRT (P.A. Evans et al. 2025, GCN 42201).
The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift BAT position.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 81.8 degrees.

The GBM light curve consists of a single pulse with a duration (T90)
of about 35 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-8.0 to T0+26.5 s is best fit by
a Band function with Epeak = 36 +/- 5 keV,
alpha = 0.4 +/- 0.7, and beta = -2.2 +/- 0.1.

The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(3.3 +/- 0.3)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+0.58 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 3 +/- 0.2 ph/s/cm^2.

The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
