Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 230728A (trigger #1181187)
(Salvaggio, et al., GCN Circ. 34282). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 343.514, 28.169 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 22h 54m 03.4s
Dec(J2000) = +28d 10' 09.5"
with an uncertainty of 1.3 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 49%.
He mask-weighted light curve shows a complex multi-peaked structure with some
emission prior to the trigger time.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 15.10 +- 0.89 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-5.62 to T+10.74 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.58 +- 0.13. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.1 +- 0.1 x 10^-06 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.41 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 2.5 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
