Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 070621 (trigger #282808)
(Sbarufatti, et al., GCN Circ. 6560). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 323.806, -24.809 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 21h 35m 13.5s
Dec(J2000) = -24d 48' 32"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 31%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows several overlapping peaks starting at ~T-20 sec
and ending at ~T+40 sec. There is a low-significance bump (~3 sigma) from
T+70 to T+105 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 33.3 +- 1.0 sec (estimated error
including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-5.2 to T+36.4 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.57 +- 0.06. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 4.3 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+21.56 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 2.5 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
