Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 090510 (trigger #351588)
(Hoversten, et al., GCN Circ. 9331). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 333.552, -26.598 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 22h 14m 12.6s
Dec(J2000) = -26d 35' 51.1"
with an uncertainty of 1.7 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 16%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a small precursor peak at ~T-0.54 sec
(width ~ 30 msec). Then the main peak starts at ~T-0.05 sec, peaks at T+0.04 sec
with a width of ~50 msec. Then come two smaller peaks at T+0.24 and T+0.32 sec,
each about 40 msec in width. At the 3-sigma level, there is the possibility
of low-level emission between T+110 sec to ~T+170 sec. T90 (15-350 keV)
is 0.3 +- 0.1 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.0 to T+0.4 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
0.98 +- 0.20. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 3.4 +- 0.4 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.30 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 9.7 +- 1.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
