TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 14028 SUBJECT: GRB 121201A: Swift-BAT refined analysis DATE: 12/12/01 18:45:12 GMT FROM: Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC T. Sakamoto (AGU), S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), W. H. Baumgartner (GSFC/UMBC), J. R. Cummings (GSFC/UMBC), E. E. Fenimore (LANL), N. Gehrels (GSFC), H. A. Krimm (GSFC/USRA), C. B. Markwardt (GSFC), D. M. Palmer (LANL), G. Sato (ISAS), M. Stamatikos (OSU), J. Tueller (GSFC), T. N. Ukwatta (MSU), V. N. Yershov (UCL-MSSL) (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 121201A (trigger #540178) (Yershov, et al., GCN Circ. 14025). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 13.473, -42.929 deg, which is RA(J2000) = 00h 53m 53.6s Dec(J2000) = -42d 55' 45.9" with an uncertainty of 2.3 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 100%. The mask-weighted light curve shows 3 main peaks starting at ~T-23, peaking at ~T-18, -8, & +4 sec, and ending at ~T+55 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 85 +- 21 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-24.00 to T+71.00 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.90 +- 0.21. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 7.8 +- 1.0 x 10^-7 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-9.00 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 0.8 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
