report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:
"At 09:10:19.59 UT on 18 June 2022, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 220618A (trigger 677236224 / 220618382)
which was also detected by the Swift/BAT (Troja et al. 2022, GCN 32214).
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 35
degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of a single peak followed
by some extended emission with a duration (T90) of about 44 s (50-300 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-4.096 s to T0+24.576 s
is best fit by a power law function with an exponential
high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.30 +/- 0.13 and
the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 126 +/- 8 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(3.6 +/- 0.2)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+10.05 s in the 10-1000 keV band
is 2.3 +/- 0.2 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
