The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB

At 18:17:42 UT on 5 Jun 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 200605A (trigger 613073867.194696 / 200605762).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 93.0, Dec = 53.6 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 06h 12m, 53d 36'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.5 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 46.0 degrees.

on behalf of the GRS-Odyssey GRB team, report:

The short-duration GRB 200605A
(Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 27892)
has been detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 613073867), Konus-Wind,
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Mars-Odyssey (HEND), and Swift (BAT), so far,
at about 65862 s UT (18:17:42).
The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box
whose coordinates are:
  ---------------------------------------------
   RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
  ---------------------------------------------
  Center:
    95.839 (06h 23m 21s) +50.954 (+50d 57' 14")
  Corners:
    96.116 (06h 24m 28s) +51.192 (+51d 11' 29")
    95.683 (06h 22m 44s) +51.188 (+51d 11' 16")
    95.565 (06h 22m 16s) +50.715 (+50d 42' 52")
    95.993 (06h 23m 58s) +50.719 (+50d 43' 09")
  ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 460 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 35 arcmin (the minimum one is 16 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 33 deg.

This box may be improved.

The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of, the 
Fermi-GBM final position (GCN Circ. 27892).

A triangulation map is posted at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB200605_T65862/IPN

The Konus-Wind time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming
GCN Circular.

The Swift (BAT) event data used for the IPN localization
came from the GUANO system (https://www.swift.psu.edu/guano/).

The short GRB 200605A (Fermi GBM Localization: the Fermi GBM team,
GCN Circ. 27892; IPN triangulation: Hurley et al., GCN Circ. 27900;
https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/other/200605A.gcn3)
triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 18:17:42.317 UTC
on 5 June 2020. The burst signal was seen by only the SGM detector.
The source location was outside the FOV of the HXM detectors.
Because of a problem in one of the ground alert processing script,
the GCN notice was not distributed automatically for this event.

The burst light curve shows a double-peaked pulse which starts at
T-0.176 sec, peaks at -0.048 sec and ends at T+0.256 sec. The T90 and T50
durations measured by the SGM data are 0.368 +- 0.062 sec and
0.232 +- 0.051 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1275416255/

The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by
the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at the Waseda University.

The short-duration GRB 200605A
(Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 27892;
IPN triangulation: Hurley et al., GCN Circ. 27900;
CALET-GRBM detection: Kawakubo et al., GCN Circ. 27911)
triggered Konus-Wind at T0=65858.111 s UT (18:17:38.111).

The burst light curve shows a multipeaked structure
which starts at ~T0 and has a total duration of ~0.4 s.
The emission is seen up to ~10 MeV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB200605_T65862/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 3.63(-0.51,+0.60)x10^-6 erg/cm2,
and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.016 s,
of 2.48(-0.69,+0.75)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range).

The time-averaged spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+0.256 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = -0.82(-0.20,+0.23)
and Ep = 744(-174,+273) keV (chi2 = 23/28 dof).
Fitting by a GRB (Band) model yields the same alpha and Ep,
and an upper limit on the high energy photon index: beta < -2.2
(chi2 = 23/27 dof).

All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
All the quoted values are preliminary.
