on behalf of the Swift-BAT team:

Using the full data set from the recent telemetry downlink, we report
further analysis of Swift-BAT Trigger #146129 (Greiner, et al., GCN 3621).
The ground-analysis position is RA,Dec 155.645,-0.040 (J2000) with an
uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90%, stat+sys).  T90 is 52 +- 2 sec.
Fitting a simple power law over the full interval from T-10 to T+54 seconds,
the photon index is 1.6 +/- 0.1 with a fluence of 2.5 +/- 0.26 X 10^-6 erg/cm^2
in the 15-350 keV band (90% c.l.).  The peak flux in a 1-sec wide window
starting at T+40.4 seconds is 1.24 +/- 0.17 ph/cm^2/sec (15-350 keV).
