S. Bala (USRA), C. Fletcher (USRA) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 22:49:27.61 UT on 18 May 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 230518A (trigger 706142972/230518951).
which was also detected by Swift/BAT-GUANO (S. Ronchini et al. 2023, GCN
33825).
The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization was reported in GCN 33822.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 23 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of one short peak with a duration (T90)
of about 0.9 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-0.7 to T0+0.2 s is best fit by
a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff.
The power law index is 0.6 +/- 0.7 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 503 +/- 138 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(5.5 +/- 0.9)E-07 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+0.0 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 4 +/- 1 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
