TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 12320 SUBJECT: SGR Swift J1834.9-0846: Correction to the Swift-BAT refined spectral analysis DATE: 11/09/01 18:02:58 GMT FROM: Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC) and T. Sakamoto (GSFC/UMBC), (on behalf of the Swift-BAT team): Due to an error in the automated processing, an incorrect best-fit model was selected in Circ 12317. The correct best fit model is the simple blackbody model. We apologise for this error. The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.000 to T+0.012 sec of the event from SGR Swift J1834.9-0846 (BAT Trigger 501752) is best fit by a blackbody model. The blackbody temperature is 9.2 -1.6,+1.4 keV. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 5.6 +- 2.6 x 10^-9 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.49 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 0.31 +- 0.19 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. We thank A.Kann for bringing this fitting choice error to our attention.
