(i.e. the Swift-BAT team):
Using the data set from T-239 to T+529 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 110521A (trigger #453788)
(Oates, et al., GCN Circ. 12031). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 120.132, 45.818 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 08h 00m 31.7s
Dec(J2000) = +45d 49' 05.3"
with an uncertainty of 1.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows several overlapping peaks starting
at ~T_zero, with the maximum peak at ~T+8 sec, and ending at ~T+18 sec.
There is a low significance tail out to around T+60 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 13.8 +- 3.3 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.2 to T+18.8 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
0.90 +- 0.22. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 4.4 +- 0.5 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+7.88 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.5 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
