report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:
"At 06:50:22.23 UT on 2 August 2023, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 230802A (trigger 712651827 / 230802285),
which was also detected by Swift BAT (N. J. Klingler et al. 2023, GCN 34313).
The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift BAT position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 107 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of a single peak
with a duration (T90) of about 38 s (50-300 keV)The time-averaged spectrum from -14.3s to 26.6 s is
best fit by a simple power law function with index -1.7 +/- 0.02.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(1.3 +/- 0.1)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+4.4 s in the 10-1000 keV band
is 5.6 +/- 0.4 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
