Using the data set from T-119 to T+303 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 170428A (trigger #750298)
(Beardmore, et al., GCN Circ. 21042). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 330.051, 26.913 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 22h 00m 12.3s
Dec(J2000) = +26d 54' 47.9"
with an uncertainty of 1.2 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 62%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a complex of three peaks within a period
from T+0.15 to T+0.35 sec. There is no sign of extended emission.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 0.20 +- 0.07 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.15 to T+0.45 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
0.76 +- 0.12. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.8 +- 0.2 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.20 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.
