Using the data set from T-119 to T+183 sec from the telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 080320 (trigger #306858)
(Grupe, et al., GCN Circ. 7473). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 177.763, 57.162 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 11h 51m 03.1s
Dec(J2000) = +57d 09' 42.6"
with an uncertainty of 1.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 93%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a FRED peak starting at ~T-5 sec,
peaking at ~T+0, and ending at ~T+35 sec. There a possible (3 sigma)
precursor peak at ~T-55 sec with a width of about 5 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 14 +- 2 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.7 to T+13.8 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.70 +- 0.22. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.7 +- 0.4 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.15 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.6 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
