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

Using the data set from T-137 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 250330A (trigger #1299776)
(Cenko, et al., GCN Circ. 39938).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 252.685, -86.875 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  16h 50m 44.5s
   Dec(J2000) = -86d 52' 29.6"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 98%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a single well defined fast-rise exponential-
decay pulse shape. the T90 (15-350 keV) is 11.27 +- 2.53 sec (estimated error
including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.16 to T+14.33 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.72 +- 0.10.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 9.2 +- 0.6 x 10^-07 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.26 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 4.0 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
