Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 100522A (trigger #422783)
(Troja, et al., GCN Circ. 10784). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 6.990, +9.397 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 00h 27m 57.6s
Dec(J2000) = +09d 23' 50.1"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 71%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a complex structure. There are two
main
episodes of emission, starting at T-0.5 sec and T+25 sec, respectively.
The
first episode starts with a broad multi-peaked structure 2.5 sec long
followed
by three short (~0.3 sec long) peaks. Then the emission returns to
background levels before rising in a second, less intense and softer two
peak
structure approximately 15 sec long. T90 (15-350 keV) is 35.3 +- 1.8 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.5 to T+40.2 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.89 +- 0.08. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.1 +- 0.1 x 10-6
erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.04 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 7.1 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
