TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 4037 SUBJECT: Refined analysis of the Swift-BAT soft short burst DATE: 05/09/25 21:25:39 GMT FROM: Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC C. Markwardt (GSFC/UMD), L.

Tueller (GSFC) on behalf of the Swift-BAT team: Using the full data set from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of Swift-BAT Trigger #156838 (Holland, et al., GCN 4034). The ground-analysis position is RA,Dec 303.476,+34.332 {20h 13m 54.2s,34d 19' 54.0"} (J2000) with an uncertainty of 1.5 arcmin (radius, 90%, stat+sys). T90 is 0.068 +- 0.027 sec. The lightcurve is a single spike. Other than the initial spike at the trigger time, there is no detectable emission from T-300 to T+454 sec. Fitting our standard simple power law over the full interval from T-0.039 to T+0.614 sec, the photon index is 1.74 +/- 0.17 with a fluence of 7.5 +/- 0.9 X 10^-8 erg/cm^2. The flux in a 1-sec wide window starting at T-0.39 sec is 1.5 +/- 0.3 ph/cm^2/sec. We also fit a blackbody spectrum yielding a slightly improved reduced Chi2 with kT = 15.4 +/- 1.5 keV. We note that this kT is consistant with small-flare events from SGRs and that the RA,Dec is not any of the known SGRs. All values are in the 15-150 keV band at the 90% confidence level.
