on behalf of the Swift-BAT team:
Using the full BAT data set from the recent telemetry downlink, we report
further analysis of Swift-BAT GRB 050730 (trigger #148225)
(Holland, et al., GCN 3704). The ground-analysis position is
RA,Dec 212.063,-3.740 (J2000) with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin
(radius, 90%, stat+sys). The light curve shows a gradual increase
in emission starting at T-60 sec with a peak at T+10 sec
and then a gradual decline out to T+120 sec. T90 is 155 +- 20 sec.
Fitting a simple power law over the full interval from T-60 to T+120 seconds,
the photon index is 1.5 +/- 0.1 with a fluence of 4.4 +/- 0.4 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+4.8 seconds is 0.74 +/- 0.17 ph/cm^2/sec (15-350 keV).
