Using the data set from T-119 to T+300 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 070920 (trigger #291614)
(Grupe, et al., GCN Circ. 6805). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 100.968, 72.250 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 06h 43m 52.2s
Dec(J2000) = 72d 14' 59"
with an uncertainty of 2.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
The mask-weighted lightcurve shows a single peak (with structure) starting
at ~T-15 sec, broadly peaking at ~T+25 sec, and ending at ~T+140 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 56 +- 1 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+15.1 to T+75.0 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.69 +- 0.21. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 5.1 +- 0.7 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+30.45 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.3 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
