Using the data set from T-61 to T+242 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 200528A (trigger #974827)
(Ambrosi, et al., GCN Circ. 27832). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 176.637, 58.185 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 11h 46m 32.8s
Dec(J2000) = +58d 11' 07.3"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 62%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a multi-peaked structure rising just before T0,
peaking around T+35 sec and decaying to background by T+120 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 58.7 +- 1.4 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.02 to T+112.88 sec is best fit by a power law
with an exponential cutoff. This fit gives a photon index 1.62 +- 0.14,
and Epeak of 40.1 +- 5.5 keV (chi squared 25.28 for 56 d.o.f.). For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.8 +- 0.0 x 10^-5 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+33.82 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
17.5 +- 0.5 ph/cm2/sec. A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 2.14 +- 0.03 (chi squared 69.65 for 57 d.o.f.). All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
