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

"At 10:46:08 UT on 25 May 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 230525A (trigger 706704373/230525449).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 45.27, Dec = 69.35 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 3h 1m, +69d 20'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 6.75 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 19 degrees.

S. Bala (USRA), C. Fletcher (USRA), O.J. Roberts (NASA/MSFC) and C. Meegan (UAH)
 report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:

"At 10:46:08.33 UT on 25 May 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 230525A (trigger 706704373/230525449).
The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization was reported in GCN 33877.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 19 degrees.

The GBM light curve consists of single peak with a duration (T90)
of 0.12 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-0.06 to T0+0.06 s is best fit by
a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff.
The power law index is -0.80 +/- 0.09 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 789 +/- 148 keV.

The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(8.6 +/- 0.4)E-07 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured
starting from T0-0.064 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 25 +/- 1 ph/s/cm^2.

The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:

The short GRB 230525A (Fermi-GBM Final Localization: The 
Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 33877; Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi 
GBM team, GCN Circ. 33879) was detected in the ground analysis of 
the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) data around 
10:46:08.33 UTC on 25 May 2023 (referenced to GCN Circ 33879).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a short pulse around the reference time. 
We are not able to obtain the duration because no event data is available 
for ground-detected events.

The ground-processed light curve is available at
http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1369046781/

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