TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 18429 SUBJECT: GRB 151021A: Swift-BAT refined analysis DATE: 15/10/21 11:43:31 GMT FROM: Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC H. A. Krimm (GSFC/USRA), S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), J. R. Cummings (GSFC/UMBC), N. Gehrels (GSFC), A. Y. Lien (GSFC/UMBC), C. B. Markwardt (GSFC), A. Melandri (INAF-OAB), D. M. Palmer (LANL), T. Sakamoto (AGU), M. Stamatikos (OSU), T. N. Ukwatta (LANL) (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-240 to T+352 sec from the recent telemetry downlinks, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 151021A (trigger #660671) (Melandri, et al., GCN Circ. 18425). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 337.647, -33.189 deg, which is RA(J2000) = 22h 30m 35.3s Dec(J2000) = -33d 11' 21.8" with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 10%. The mask-weighted light curve shows many overlapping peaks starting at ~T-50sec, with a maxiximum peak at ~T+1 sec, and ending at ~T+130 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 110.2 +- 3.7 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-21.6 to T+127.4 sec (with a 1.5 sec data gap in the middle) is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.57 +- 0.04. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.8 +- 0.1 x 10^-5 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.13 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 9.7 +- 0.8 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
