(i.e. the Swift-BAT team):
Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 090404 (trigger #348428)
(Ziaeepour, et al., GCN Circ. 9086). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 239.233, 35.518 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 15h 56m 55.8s
Dec(J2000) = +35d 31' 03.4"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 89%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows at least 7 overlapping peaks starting
at ~T-50 sec and ending at ~T+150 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 84 +- 14 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-35.2 to T+94.6 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
2.32 +- 0.08. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 3.0 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+17.32 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.
