Using the data set from T-61 to T+242 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 250430A (trigger #1308754)
(Parsotan, et al., GCN Circ. 40292). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 233.395, -18.101 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 15h 33m 34.7s
Dec(J2000) = -18d 06' 03.2"
with an uncertainty of 1.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 72%.
The mask-weighted light curve displays a double peaked structure.
The T90 (15-350 keV) is 9.17 +- 1.70 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.10 to T+11.86 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.66 +- 0.11. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 8.9 +- 0.6 x 10^-07 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.31 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 2.3 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
