TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7205 SUBJECT: GRB 080123, Swift-BAT refined analysis DATE: 08/01/23 14:54:48 GMT FROM: Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC J. Tueller (GSFC), S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), J. Cummings (GSFC/UMBC), E. Fenimore (LANL), N. Gehrels (GSFC), H. Krimm (GSFC/USRA), C. Markwardt (GSFC/UMD), D. Palmer (LANL), T. Sakamoto (GSFC/UMBC), G. Sato (GSFC/ISAS), M. Stamatikos (GSFC/ORAU), T. Ukwatta (GWU) (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from recent telemetry downlinks, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 080123 (trigger #301578) (Ukwatta, et al., GCN Circ. 7203). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 338.974, -64.930 deg which is RA(J2000) = 22h 35m 53.8s Dec(J2000) = -64d 55' 48" with an uncertainty of 4.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 20%. The mask-weighted light curve shows two well-separated peaks. The first starts at ~T+0.3 sec and is no wider than 64 msec. The second peak starts at ~T+0.6 sec with a FRED-like shape and a duration of ~256 msec. There is soft extended emission lasting ~120 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 115 +- 30 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.3 to T+122.2 sec (SHB plus extended emmission) is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 2.15 +- 0.54. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 5.7 +- 1.7 x 10^-7 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.05 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.8 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
