Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 250828B (trigger #1345836)
(Evans et al., GCN Circ. 41581). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 124.867, -17.352 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 08h 19m 28.2s
Dec(J2000) = -17d 21' 07.8"
with an uncertainty of 2.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The
partial coding was 64%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a complex structure. The main pulse
starts and peaks at ~T0, and ends at ~T+5 s. In addition, there are some
weak emission that starts prior to the main pulse at ~T-60 s and persists
after the main pulse until ~T+60 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 94.09 +- 32.03 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-56.23 to T+76.66 sec is best fit by a
simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum
is 2.13 +- 0.19. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.5 +- 0.2 x 10^-06
erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.12 sec in the 15-150
keV band is 1.7 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90%
confidence level.
