Using the data set from T-239 to T+760 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 180704A (trigger #846088)
Sonbas, et al., GCN Circ. 22885). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 32.605, 69.965 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 02h 10m 25.1s
Dec(J2000) = +69d 57' 54.9"
with an uncertainty of 1.3 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 7%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows several peaks, the first starting at ~T-21 sec,
and the lagest peak at ~T+1 sec, with a long tail out to ~T+40 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 19.7 +- 1.4 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-17.90 to T+4.24 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.22 +- 0.10. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.2 +- 0.4 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.04 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 9.6 +- 1.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
