GCN Circular 33822

The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB At 22:49:27 UT on 18 May 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230518A (trigger 706142972.60896 / 230518951). The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 256.4, Dec = -49.6 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 17h 05m, -49d 36'), with a statistical uncertainty of 19.0 degrees. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 23.0 degrees.
