Using the data set from T-299 to T+303 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB (trigger #290624)
(Krimm, et al., GCN Circ. 6777). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 25.819, -33.484 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 1h 43m 16.5s
Dec(J2000) = -33d 29' 3"
with an uncertainty of 1.5 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 88%.
The mask tagged light curve starts to rise at around T-70 sec and
continues above
baseline until T+160 sec. The burst contains multiple strong peaks
in a cluster
from T-5 to T+55 sec, then a drop in flux and another cluster of peaks from
T+85 to T+145 sec.The first cluster of peaks has a harder spectrum
than the second.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 162 +- 10 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from -73.0 to +158.8 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.72 +- 0.04. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.2 +- 0.02 x
10^-05 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+36.13 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 3.9 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
