Valerie Connaughton (UAH) and David Byrne (UCD)
report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:
"The event which triggered the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor at 17:46:57 UT
on 10 May 2012 (120510741/358364818) is not a GRB.
This event was classified as being of uncertain origin by the GBM Flight
Software
owing to an inability to localize it on-board. Inspection of the data
suggests that this event is of solar origin, correlating in time with a
C-class solar flare seen in the GOES data. On-ground localization using
the GBM data places the event within 2 deg of the Sun.
The OT reported by Gorbovskoy et al. (GCN 13285) is thus not related to
Fermi GBM
trigger 358364818."
