report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:
"At 12:04:06.93 UT on 10 April 2023, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 230510A (trigger 705413051 / 230510503), which
was also detected by the Swift/BAT and Swift/XRT (Eyles-Ferris et al. 2023,
GCN 33752; Evans et al. 2023, GCN 33756). The GBM on-ground location is
consistent with the Swift position (GCN 33751).
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 14
degrees.
The GBM light curve shows a weaker peak followed about 100 s later
by a brighter peak, with a duration (T90) of about 177 s (50-300 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-4.1 s to T0+11.3 s is
best fit by a power law function with an exponential
high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.9 +/- 0.1 and
the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 87 +/- 7 keV.
A Band function fits the spectrum equally well
with Epeak = 87 +/- 9 keV, alpha = -0.9 +/- 0.1 and beta = -3.8 +/- 3.2.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(2.0 +/- 0.1)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+158 s in the 10-1000 keV band
is 12.4 +/- 0.4 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
