Abstract
Abstract We have observed the prompt emission of GRB 100418A from its beginning captured by the MAXI SSC (0.7–7 keV) on board the International Space Station followed by the Swift XRT (0.3–10 keV) observation. The light curve can be fitted by a combination of a power-law component and an exponential component (the decay constant is 31.6 ± 1.6 s). The X-ray spectrum is well expressed by the Band function with Ep ≤ 8.3 keV. This is the brightest gamma-ray burst showing a very low value of Ep. It satisfies the Yonetoku relation (Ep–Lp). It is also consistent with the Amati relation (Ep–Eiso) within a 2.5σ level.
