Using the data set from T-239 to T+592 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 070520B (trigger #279898)
(Moretti, et al., GCN Circ. 6245). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 121.886, 57.588 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 08h 07m 32.7s
Dec(J2000) = 57d 35' 15.3"
with an uncertainty of 1.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 59%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows two overlapping peaks starting
at T-4 sec, peaking at T+1 sec, and ending with a long tail at T+200 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 66 +- 4 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-5.0 to T+71.3 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.15 +- 0.21. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 9.2 +- 1.1 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.74 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.
