(i.e. the Swift-BAT team):
Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 120328A (trigger #518792)
(Pagani, et al., GCN Circ. 13147). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 241.607, -39.322 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 16h 06m 25.8s
Dec(J2000) = -39d 19' 20.8"
with an uncertainty of 1.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows two overlapping peaks. The first starts
at ~T-20 sec, peaks at ~T+0; the second peaks at ~T+8 sec and ends at ~T+20 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 24.2 +- 6.7 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-17.27 to T+20.61 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.87 +- 0.20. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 4.7 +- 0.6 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.11 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.7 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
