Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 070520A (trigger #279817)
(Romano, et al., GCN Circ. 6423). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 193.255, 75.005 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 12h 53m 1.1s
Dec(J2000) = 75d 0' 16.6"
with an uncertainty of 2.2 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 67%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows single peak with a long tail. The peak
starts at ~T+10 sec, peaks at T+35 sec, and ends at ~T+105 sec. The long
tail appears to extend out to T+370+/-30 sec at the 0.02 +/- 0.01 ph/cm2/sec level.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 18 +- 3 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+25.5 to T+45.4 is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.60 +- 0.33. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.5 +- 0.5 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+35.80 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.4 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
