Chenyu Wang, Zirui Yang and Longhao Li report on behalf of the GRID Collaboration:

GRID-04 reports the detection of the long-duration GRB 231230A, which was also detected by Swift/BAT and Fermi/GBM(GCN Circular 35434 and 35436).

The event was triggered with GRID on 2023-12-30 at 01:29:08​ UTC. The GRID light curve consists of multiple spikes with a duration (T90) of about 17 +/- 1 s (30-2000 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0+0.4 to T0+17.3 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.03 +/- 0.2 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 132 +/- 45 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is about 6.0E-06 erg/cm^2.​
