Using the data sets from T-240 to T+963 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 090410 (trigger #348929)
(Grupe, et al., GCN Circ. 9122). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 334.956, 15.419 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 22h 19m 49.4s
Dec(J2000) = +15d 25' 08.6"
with an uncertainty of 1.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows two main peaks with some precursor activity.
The precursor activity starts at ~T-55 sec. And because the target location
only came into the BAT FOV at T-110 sec, there may have been even earlier activity.
The first main peak started at ~T-10 sec, peaked at ~T+7 sec, and ended
around T+45 sec. The second main peak started at ~T+80 sec, peaked at ~T+120 sec,
and returned to baseline T+170 sec. The burst location left the BAT FOV
at ~T+390 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 165 +- 8 sec (estimated error
including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-49.2 to T+139.4 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.19 +- 0.05. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 5.6 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+8.90 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.9 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
