TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 17761 SUBJECT: GRB 150424A: Swift-BAT refined analysis DATE: 15/04/25 15:46:23 GMT FROM: Tilan Ukwatta at LANL S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), W. H. Baumgartner (GSFC/UMBC), A. P. Beardmore (U Leicester), J. R. Cummings (GSFC/UMBC), N. Gehrels (GSFC), H. A. Krimm (GSFC/USRA), A. Y. Lien (GSFC/UMBC), C. B. Markwardt (GSFC), D. M. Palmer (LANL), T. Sakamoto (AGU), M. Stamatikos (OSU), T. N. Ukwatta (LANL) (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-240 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 150424A (trigger #638946) (Beardmore, et al., GCN Circ. 17743). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 152.305, -26.646 deg which is RA(J2000) = 10h 09m 13.2s Dec(J2000) = -26d 38' 45.7" with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 69%. BAT light curve shows a bright multi-peaked episode starting around T-0.05 sec, and ending around T+0.5 sec. Very weak extended emission can be seen up to about T+100 sec as mentioned in Norris, et al., GCN Circ. 17759. T90 (15-350 keV) is 91 +- 22 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.06 to T+106.32 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.23 +- 0.15. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.5 +- 0.1 x 10^-06 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.06 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 12.0 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. The results of the batgrbproduct analysis are available at http://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/notices_s/638946/BA/
