Using the data set from T-240 to T+262 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 170419B (trigger #748947)
(Cholden-Brown et al., GCN Circ. 21016Not found
 
 
).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 60.494, -15.121 deg which is
  RA(J2000)  =  04h 01m 58.5s
  Dec(J2000) = -15d 07' 14.3"
with an uncertainty of 1.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 52%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a single-pulse structure that starts at
~ T0 and peaks at ~T+2. The major part of the pulse ends at ~T+10 s, and
the weaker tail emission lasts till ~T+90 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is
77.2 +- 9.8 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.3 to T+88.0 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.47 +- 0.13.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.9 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+1.98 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 2.4 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
