Using the data set from T-240 to T+302 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of Swift J185003.2-005627 (trigger #456014)
(Beardmore, et al., GCN Circ. 12083). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 282.509, -0.946 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 18h 50m 02.2s
Dec(J2000) = -00d 56' 47.3"
with an uncertainty of 3.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 41%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a single pulse starting at ~T-2 sec,
peaking at ~T+4 sec, and ending at ~T+14 sec, entirely in the lowest
energy band (15-25 keV). T90 (15-350 keV) is 12.0 +- 4.5 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.7 to T+13.3 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
5.11 +- 0.98. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.6 +- 0.4 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+1.28 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.6 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
