Using the data set from T-239 to T+303 sec from recent telemetry
downlinks, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 070810B (trigger
#287409) (Marshall, et al., GCN Circ. 6743). The BAT ground-calculated
position is RA, Dec = 8.952, 8.822 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 0h 35m 48.4s
Dec(J2000) = 8d 49' 18"
with an uncertainty of 2.5 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
The light curve is a single FRED-like peak starting at T+0, and ending
at T+0.12 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 80 +- 10 msec (estimated error
including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.008 to T+0.092 sec is best fit by a
simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged
spectrum is 1.44 +- 0.37. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is
1.2 +- 0.3 x 10^-8 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from
T-0.45 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.8 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec. All the
quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
