![]() TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 9716 SUBJECT: GRB 090726, Swift-BAT refined analysis DATE: 09/07/27 15:57:17 GMT FROM: Tilan Ukwatta at GSFC/GWU <tilan.ukwatta@gmail.com> H. A. Krimm (GSFC/USRA), S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), W. H. Baumgartner (GSFC/UMBC), J. R. Cummings (GSFC/UMBC), E. E. Fenimore (LANL), N. Gehrels (GSFC), C. B. Markwardt (GSFC/UMD), K. L. Page (U Leicester), D. M. Palmer (LANL), A. M. Parsons (GSFC), T. Sakamoto (GSFC/UMBC), G. Sato (ISAS), M. Stamatikos (GSFC/ORAU), J. Tueller (GSFC), T. N. Ukwatta (GWU) (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 090726 (trigger #358422) (Page, et al.,
GCN 9706). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 248.681, 72.866 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 16h 34m 43.5s
Dec(J2000) = +72d 51' 56.5"
with an uncertainty of 1.7 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat,
90% containment). The partial coding was 85%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a weak single peak
starting at ~T-40 sec, peaking at ~T+5 aec,
and ending at ~T+70 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is
67.0 +/- 15.2 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-34.7 to T+47.3 sec is
best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law
index of the time-averaged spectrum is 2.25 +/- 0.19.
The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is
8.6 +/- 1.0 x 10^-07 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon
flux measured from T+7.30 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.7 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are
at the 90% confidence level.
