The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB

At 04:01:02 UT on 4 Jan 2022, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 220104A (trigger 662961667.603716 / 220104167).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 197.8, Dec = 42.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 13h 11m, 42d 06'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 17.0 degrees.

report on behalf of GECAM team:

During the commissioning phase, GECAM-B was triggered in-flight by a 
long bright burst, GRB 220104A, at 2022-01-04T04:01:02.850 UTC (denoted as T0)���
which was also observed by Fermi/GBM (GCN #31380).

According to the BDS alert data, this burst mainly consists of a broad pulse
with a duration of about 2 s.

The GECAM light curve could be found here:
http://twiki.ihep.ac.cn/pub/GECAM/GRBList/gecamb_lc_grd_all_combine_94968062.png

GECAM-B localized this burst to the following position (J2000): 
ra: 192.9 deg
dec: 37.3 deg
err: 10.1 deg (1-sigma, statistical only)
The current systematic error of location is estimated to be several degrees
which could be minimized by the ongoing calibration. 

The GECAM preliminary location could be found here:
http://twiki.ihep.ac.cn/pub/GECAM/GRBList/gecamb_sky_fit_94968062.png

This position is consistent with the Fermi GBM team localization 
(trigger #662961667) within the error.

Please note that all GECAM results here are preliminary. The final analysis
will be published in journal papers or GECAM online catalog.

Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor
(GECAM) mission consists of two small satellites (GECAM-A and GECAM-B) in
Low Earth Orbit (600 km, 29 deg), launched on Dec 10, 2020 (Beijing Time),
which was funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

From
Boyan A. Hristov at UAH <bah0046@uah.edu>
Boyan A. Hristov (MPE/UAH) reports on behalf of the
Fermi GBM Team:

"At 04:01:02.60 UT on 04 January 2022, the Fermi Gamma-Ray
Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 220104A
(trigger 662961667 / 220104167) which was also detected by
GECAM (Z. W. Guo et al. 2022, GCN 31382).

The GBM on-ground location (GCN 31380) is consistent with the
GECAM position.

The GBM light curve consists of multiple peaks with a duration
(T90) of about 2.624 s (50-300 keV).  The time-averaged
spectrum from T0-0.128 s to T0+0.320 s is best fit by a simple
power law function with index -1.28 +/- 0.05.

The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(3.5 +/- 0.34)E-07 erg/cm^2.
The 64-miliseconds peak photon flux measured starting from
T0-0.064 s in the 10-1000 keV band
is 4.00 +/- 0.98 ph/s/cm^2.

The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/fermi/fermigbrst.html
