(i.e. the Swift-BAT team):

Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 220404A (trigger #1101133)
(Cenko, et al., GCN Circ. 31828Not found
 
 
).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 50.413, 10.001 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  03h 21m 39.0s
   Dec(J2000) = +10d 00' 03.4"
with an uncertainty of 2.7 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 47%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a weak peak starts at T0 and ends at
T+3 s.  There is a hint of a emission around T+5 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is
2.54 +- 0.66 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.26 to T+2.98 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.90 +- 0.36.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.4 +- 0.3 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+1.15 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.1 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
