Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 100413A (trigger #419404)
(Holland, et al., GCN Circ. 10581). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 266.223, 15.833 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 17h 44m 53.4s
Dec(J2000) = +15d 50' 00.3"
with an uncertainty of 1.9 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 48%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows multiple overlapping peaks in two main
clusters of peaks. It starts at ~T-45 sec, with the first cluster ending
at ~T+40 sec. The second cluster starts around T+90 sec, peaks around T+100 sec,
and ends later than T+240 sec. The emission does not return
to background between the two clusters. We are issuing this refined circular
prior to receiving all the data, because there is a backlog in the downlinking
of the data and it will be many hours until receive the data past T+240 sec.
These results will be updated when we receive the full data set.
Using this partial data set, the time-averaged spectrum
from T-1.5 to T+213.1 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model.
The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.17 +- 0.07.
The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.2 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+116.78 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.7 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
