Fermi-GBM detection of the new magnetar Swift J1818.0-1607
Abstract
We report on the GBM observation of the new magnetar, Swift J1818.0-1607 (Evans et al. 2020, GCN 27373 and Enoto et al. 2020, ATel 13551). The GBM targeted search, the most sensitive, coherent search for sub-threshold signals, was run from +/- 30 s around the Swift/BAT trigger time, employing a soft spectral template, and identified a significant counterpart.
