TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 18542 SUBJECT: GRB 151031A: Swift-BAT refined analysis DATE: 15/10/31 14:25:39 GMT FROM: Hans Krimm at NASA-GSFC T. N. Ukwatta (LANL),S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), 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), E. Sonbas (Adiyaman Univ.), M. Stamatikos (OSU), (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 151031A (trigger #662330) (Sonbas, et al., GCN Circ. 18538). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 83.189, -39.125 deg which is RA(J2000) = 05h 32m 45.3s Dec(J2000) = -39d 07' 28.3" with an uncertainty of 1.3 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 67%. The mask-weighted light curve shows a single FRED-shaped peak, peaking at T+2 sec and returning to background by T+7 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 5.00 +- 2.24 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.30 to T+6.30 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 2.41 +- 0.18. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 3.2 +- 0.3 x 10^-7erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+1.30 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.7 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
