The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB
At 11:03:14 UT on 15 Jan 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240115A (trigger 727009399.105114 / 240115461).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 16.3, Dec = 25.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 01h 05m, 25d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 4.4 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 37.0 degrees.

GRB 240115A: Swift/BAT-GUANO detection of a short burst

James DeLaunay (PSU), Gayathri Raman (PSU), Samuele Ronchini (PSU), Aaron Tohuvavohu (U Toronto), Jamie A. Kennea (PSU), Tyler Parsotan (NASA GSFC) report:
Swift/BAT did not localize GRB 240115A onboard (T0: 2024-01-15T11:03:14.11 UTC, Fermi GBM Trig 727009399, INTEGRAL SPI-ACS Trig 10471).
The Fermi notice, distributed in near real-time, triggered the Swift Mission Operations Center operated Gamma-ray Urgent Archiver for Novel Opportunities (GUANO; Tohuvavohu et al. 2020, ApJ, 900, 1).
Upon trigger by this notice, GUANO sent a command to the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) to save 200 seconds of BAT event-mode data from [-50,+150] seconds around the time of the burst. All the requested event mode data was delivered to the ground.
The BAT likelihood search, NITRATES (DeLaunay + Tohuvavohu 2022, ApJ, 941, 169), performed on the temporal window [T0-20 s, T0+20 s], detects the burst with a sqrt(TS) of 7.5 in a 1.024 s analysis time bin, starting at T0 - 0.256 s.
NITRATES results, independently, are ambiguous with respect to whether this burst originates from in or outside the BAT coded FOV, with a DeltaLLHOut of 5.4.
See Section 9.1 and Figures 10 and 17 in the NITRATES paper for brief descriptions and interpretation of sqrt(TS), DeltaLLHPeak, and DeltaLLHOut.
GUANO is a fully autonomous, extremely low latency, spacecraft
commanding pipeline designed for targeted recovery of BAT event mode
data around the times of compelling astrophysical events to enable
more sensitive GRB searches.

R. Hamburg (CNRS/IN2P3) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 11:03:14.11 UT on 15 January 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 240115A (trigger 727009399/240115461),
which was also detected by Swift/BAT-GUANO (DeLaunay et al. 2024, GCN 35557).
The Fermi Final Real-time Localization is reported in GCN 35537.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 37 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of one main pulse with a duration (T90)
of about 1.79 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-0.26 to T0+0.77 s is best fit by a power law function
with an exponential high-energy cutoff.
The power law index is -0.7 +/- 0.2 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 450 +/- 137 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(4.8 +/- 0.6)E-07 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+0.64 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 3.4 +/- 1.0 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
