(UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:
"At 18:20:35.84 UT on 18 January 2022, the Fermi Gamma-Ray
Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 220118A
(trigger 664222840 / 220118764), which was also detected by
the Swift BAT/XRT (N. J. Klingler et al. 2022, GCN 31490) and
observed by SWIFT UVOT (A. Belles et al. 2022, GCN 31498).
The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization (GCN 31489) is
consistent with the Swift position.
The GBM light curve shows a single peak with a duration (T90)
of about 19 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from
T0+0.003 s to T0+18.176 s is best fit by a power law function
with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is
-1.08 +/- 0.09 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak,
is 148.30 +/- 17.50 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(3.017 +/- 0.182)E-06. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+3.39204 s in the 10-1000 keV band is
4.0 +/- 0.28 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
