TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 22897 SUBJECT: GRB 180703B: Fermi GBM detection DATE: 18/07/04 17:00:32 GMT FROM: Suraj Poolakkil at UAH S.Poolakkil and C. Meegan (both UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 22:46:51.32 UT on 03 July 2018, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located GRB 180703B (trigger 552350816/ 180703949), which was also detected by the Fermi LAT (Racusin et al. 2018, GCN 22884). The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the LAT position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 31 degrees. The GBM light curve shows two peaks with a duration (T90) of about 1.6 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.1 s to T0+2.4 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.79 +/- 0.03 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 138 +/- 3 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (8.281 +/- 0.119)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured starting from T0+1.21 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 103.9 +/- 2.92 ph/s/cm^2. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog."
