TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 39133 SUBJECT: GRB 250202B: Fermi GBM Detection DATE: 25/02/03 17:22:25 GMT FROM: sumanbala2210@gmail.com
S. Bala (USRA) reports on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 03:57:17.32 UT on 02 February 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250202B (trigger 760161442/250202165).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 347.80, Dec = 16.48 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 23h 11m, +16d 29'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.43 degrees. (radius, 1-sigma containment, statistical only; there is additionally a systematic error which we have characterized as a mixture of two Gaussians, one with a radius of 1.8 degrees (52% contribution) and one with a radius of 4.1 degrees (47% contribution) [A. Goldstein et al. 2020, ApJ, 895, 1]).
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 128 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of many bright peaks with a duration (T90) of about 89 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.1 to T0+109.4 s is best fit by a Band function with Epeak = 252 +/- 5 keV, alpha = -0.81 +/- 0.01, and beta = -2.56 +/- 0.05.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.77 +/- 0.01)E-04 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+1.7 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 43.4 +/- 0.7 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
