TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 16200 SUBJECT: GRB 140430A: Swift-BAT refined analysis DATE: 14/05/01 21:30:21 GMT FROM: Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC H. A. Krimm (GSFC/USRA), S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), W.

Stamatikos (OSU), J. Tueller (GSFC), T. N. Ukwatta (MSU) (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-152 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 140430A (trigger #597722) (Siegel, et al., GCN Circ. 16190). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 102.942, 23.033 deg, which is RA(J2000) = 06h 51m 46.0s Dec(J2000) = +23d 01' 58.2" with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 100%. The mask-weighted light curve shows several well separated peaks. The first (and brightest) starts at ~T-1 sec, peaks at ~T+4 sec, and ends at ~T+9 sec. The 2nd and 3rd peaks peak at ~T+30 and ~T+180, respectively. T90 (15-350 keV) is 173.6 +- 3.7 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.30 to T+177.58 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 2.00 +- 0.22. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.1 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+2.44 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 2.5 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. The results of the batgrbproduct analysis are available at http://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/notices_s/597722/BA/
