Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 100704A (trigger #426722)
(Grupe, et al., GCN Circ. 10929). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 133.639, -24.202 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 08h 54m 33.3s
Dec(J2000) = -24d 12' 08.0"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 85%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows an initial very weak peak starting at ~T-70 sec
and peaking at ~T-60 sec. Then comes the main peak starting at ~T-5 sec,
peaking at ~T+1.5 sec, and ending at ~T+50 sec. That is followed by a small peak
at ~T+100 sec, and then a larger peak from ~T+140 to ~T+210 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 197.5 +- 23.3 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-62.3 to T+202.3 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.73 +- 0.06. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.0 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.76 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 4.3 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
