on behalf of the Swift-BAT team:
Using the full data set from the recent telemetry downlink, we report
further analysis of Swift-BAT GRB 050814 (trigger #150314)
(Retter, et al., GCN 3799). The ground-analysis position is
RA,Dec 264.189,+46.354 (J2000) with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin
(radius, 90%, stat+sys). The light curve shows a gradual increase
in emission starting at T-15 sec with a peak at ~T+5 sec
and then a longer gradual decline out to ~T+120 sec.
T90 is 65 +40/-20 sec. Fitting a simple power law over
the interval from T-1 to T+67 sec, the photon index is
1.80 +/- 0.17 with a fluence of 2.17 +/- 0.36 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+4.2 seconds is 1.0 +/- 0.3 ph/cm^2/sec (15-350 keV).
