Using the data set from T-239 to T+704 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 090419 (trigger #349592)
(Stratta, et al., GCN Circ. 9161). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 197.006, -75.615 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 13h 08m 01.5s
Dec(J2000) = -75d 36' 55.6"
with an uncertainty of 2.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 96%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a long burst with multiple peaks.
The first peak starts at ~T-30 sec. There are comparably bright peaks
at T+50, 100, and 320 sec. There is continued emmission out to at least T+1000 sec
and possibly T+1800 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 450 +- 50 sec (estimated error
including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+8.1 to T+522.8 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.38 +- 0.16. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.5 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+37.18 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.4 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
