on behalf of the Swift-BAT team:

Analysis of the full data set for the Swift-BAT GRB 050319  (Krimm,
et al., GCN 3117) yields a fluence of 8 X 10^-7 erg/cm2 in the 15-350 keV
band and a peak flux of 1.7 ph/cm2/sec  (also 15-350 keV).  The photon index
of the 1-s peak spectrum ( starting at T0 +0.36 sec.) is 2.1 +- 0.3
(90% confidence).  The time-averaged spectrum yields a photon index of
2.2 +- 0.2.

The overall measures of burst duration give T90 = 10 +- 2 seconds (including
systematics).
