Using the data set from T-119 to T+283 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 070529 (trigger #280706)
(Holland, et al., GCN Circ. 6466). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 283.725, 20.648 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 18h 54m 54.0s
Dec(J2000) = 20d 38' 54"
with an uncertainty of 1.9 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 16%.
The mask-weighted lightcurve shows multiple overlapping peaks
starting at T_0 and lasting out T+120 sec. There is a possible (~4 sigma)
10-sec peak at ~T-55 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 109 +- 3 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.2 to T+120.9 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.38 +- 0.16. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.6 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+2.02 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.4 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
