Both Swift J1818.0-1607 and Swift J1822.3-1606 located within the error area, and GRM cannot identify which source it came from independently. Combined with the results of ECLAIRs, we concluded that this burst is more likely from Swift J1818.0-1607.\n\nThe lightcurve has at least 3 pulses with high significant level, with a total duration of about 0.8 s (i.e. T0-0.3 s ~ T0+0.5 s) from 15 keV to 100 keV. The time integral spectrum of the same time interval and energy range can be adequately fitted by a single bbodyrad model with kT=3.8 (+0.37/-0.33) keV and norm= 80.7 (+52.5/-30.1), which is corresponding to a radius of 4.3 (+3.5/-2.6) or 7.3 (+5.9/-4.4) km by assuming a source distance of 4.8 or 8.1 kpc (A. Y. Ibrahim et al 2023 ApJ 943 20), respectively. The fluence of this time interval is 5.7 (+0.41/- 0.38) E-8 erg/cm2 in 15-100 keV. \n\nAs the calibration of SVOM/GRM is still undergoing, we note that these results are preliminary. \n\nThe Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. GRM is developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.\n",
