(i.e. the Swift-BAT team):
Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 150430A (trigger #639433)
(D'Elia, et al., GCN Circ. 17789). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 326.481, -27.919 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 21h 45m 55.5s
Dec(J2000) = -27d 55' 07.9"
with an uncertainty of 1.6 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 5%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows several peaks starting at ~T-10 sec,
the hightest peak at ~T+2 sec, the last peak at ~T+97 sec, and ending at ~T+110 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 107.1 +- 6.7 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-11.64 to T+108.70 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.43 +- 0.12. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.9 +- 0.5 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.97 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 5.0 +- 1.0 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
