Using the data set from T-120 to T+183 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 070328 (trigger
#272773) (Markwardt et al., GCN Circ. 6224). The BAT
ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 65.110, -34.077 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 4h 20m 26.4s
Dec(J2000) = -34d 4' 38.9"
with an uncertainty of 0.6 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90%
containment). The partial coding was 60%.
The mask weighted light curve shows a burst profile which consists
of a rise starting at T-10, multiple spikes peaking between T+0
and T+22, and a gradual decay detected out to T+140. T90 (15-350 keV)
is 69 +- 5 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-8.5 to T+133 is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.26 +- 0.04. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 8.9 +- 0.2 x
10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.78 sec in
the 15-150 keV band is 4.2 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
