O. Mukherjee (USRA) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 22:34:15.26 UT on 22 October 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 251022A (trigger 782865260/251022940)
which was also detected by Fermi-LAT ( N. Di Lalla et al. 2025, GCN 42384),
MASTER OT (V. Lipunov et al. 2025, GCN 42395),
and Swift/BAT-GUANO (James DeLaunay et al. 2025, GCN 42409).
The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Fermi-LAT position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 36.5 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of multiple emission episodes with a duration (T90)
of about 99.6 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-1 to T0+107.5 s is best fit by
a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff.
The power law index is -0.88 +/- 0.04 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 154 +/- 5 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(2.16 +/- 0.05)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+100 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 12.4 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^2.
A Band function fits the spectrum equally well
with Epeak= 138 +/- 7 keV, alpha = -0.8 +/- 0.05 and beta = -2.6 +/- 0.2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
