on behalf of the Swift-BAT team:
Analysis of the available data for the Swift-BAT GRB050315
(Parsons et al., GCN Circ 3094) yields a fluence of > 2.8x10^-6
erg/cm2 in the 15-350 keV band and a peak flux of 2.5 ph/cm2/sec
(also 15-350 keV). The photon index of the 1-s peak spectrum (T0+25 sec.)
is 2.5 +- 0.3 (90% confidence). Although there is a data gap,
the time averaged spectrum also shows a soft spectrum.
This appears to be a soft X-ray-rich GRB.
We are planning a further circular when more complete data
are avaliable.
