Marrocchesi (U of Siena) and the CALET collaboration: Using the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) event data we report further analysis of the bright, short-duration, soft spectrum GRB 180703B (Fermi-LAT detection: Racusin et al. GCN Circ. 22884; CGBM detection: Takahashi et al. GCN Circ. 22888; Fermi-GBM detection: Poolakkil and Meegan GCN Circ. 22897; IPN localization: Hurley et al. GCN Circ. 22908; Konus-Wind observation: Frederiks et al. GCN Circ. 22914). Using a 16-ms binned light curve of the sum of HXM1 and HXM2 detectors, the estimated spectral lag for the 25-50 keV to 100-300 keV bands is 43 ± 30 ms (68% CL). This value is more consistent with lags of long rather than short GRBs. We also obtained more precise estimates of T90 and T50 using the SGM 16-ms lc: 1.44 s +- 0.10 s and 0.34 +- 0.06 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively. The time-averaged spectrum of the burst (measured by the SGM from T0+0.032 sec to T0+1.856 sec, where T0=22:46:51.183 UTC) is best fit in the 30-1000 keV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep) with alpha = -0.83(-0.32, +0.36) and Ep = 143(-13, +15) keV (chi2 = 62/59 dof). The resulting fluence in this energy range is 5.98(-0.43, +0.46)x10^-6 erg/cm2. The quoted errors are at 90% CL. All the quoted values are preliminary.
