for the Swift-BAT team:
For GRB 100816A (Oates et al GCN 11102), the BAT team has analyzed the
spectral lags for the data from ~T-1 sec to ~T+3 sec using unmask-weighted
light curves. The spectral lags were measured between standard BAT energy
bands: channel 1 (15-25 keV), 2 (25-50 keV), 3 (50-100 keV) and 4 (100-350 keV)
are given below.
Lag Ch4-2 10 +/- 25 ms
Lag Ch3-1 20 +/- 20 ms
We conclude from this analysis that the burst is consistent with being
a short hard burst, but the error bars are too large to be definitive.
