report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:
"At 17:16:21.65 UT on 18 April 2022, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 220418B (trigger 671994986 / 220418720).
which was also detected by the Swift-BAT/GUANO (GCN 31919, 31921)
The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization (GCN 31915) is consistent with the Swift position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 80 degrees.
The GBM light curve shows a single peak
with a duration (T90) of about 1.7 s (50-300 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-1.024 s to T0+1.024 s is
best fit a simple power law function with index -1.6 +/- 0.1.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(3.8 +/- 0.6)E-07 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured
starting from T0-0.57 s in the 10-1000 keV band
is 121 +/- 76 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
