Using the data set from T-240 to T+804 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 070810A (trigger #287364) (Cummings,
et al., GCN Circ. 6733). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 189.947, 10.747 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 12h 39m 47.2s
Dec(J2000) = 10d 44' 48"
with an uncertainty of 1.3 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). This
is 1.0 arcmin from the optical and refined XRT positions (Chester et al.
GCN circ. 6735 and Evans et al. GCN circ. 6736). The partial coding was 53%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a single peak with softening spectral
evolution. T90 (15-350 keV) is 11.0 +- 1 sec (estimated error including
systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-3.1 to T+14.3 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
2.04 +- 0.14. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is
6.9 +- 0.6 x 10^-07 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from
T-0.11 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.9 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted
errors are at the 90% confidence level.
