(i.e. the Swift-BAT team):
Using the data set from T-144 to T+431 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 130812A (trigger #566228)
(D'Elia, et al., GCN Circ. 15088). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 92.387, -13.285 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 06h 09m 32.8s
Dec(J2000) = -13d 17' 06.6"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 75%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows multiple spikes peaking at T0, T0+4 sec and T0+7 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 7.6 +- 0.5 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.3 to T+8.5 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
2.52 +- 0.11. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 5.9 +- 0.3 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.14 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 2.8 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
