Using the data set from T-239 to T+363 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 100504A (trigger #421124)
(Mao, et al., GCN Circ. 10712). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 255.575, -35.590 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 17h 02m 18.1s
Dec(J2000) = -35d 35' 23.0"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 92%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows two overlapping peaks followed by a
weak third peak, starting at ~T-10 sec, peaking at T+0, T+8, and ~T+90 sec,
and ending at ~T+100 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 97.3 +- 7.3 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-9.7 to T+102.2 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.76 +- 0.10. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.4 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+7.60 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.7 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
