TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 16218 SUBJECT: GRB 140506A: Swift-BAT refined analysis DATE: 14/05/07 11:50:34 GMT FROM: Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC C. B. Markwardt (GSFC), S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), W. H.

Stamatikos (OSU), J. Tueller (GSFC), T. N. Ukwatta (MSU) (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from recent telemetry downlinks, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 140506A (trigger #598284) (Gompertz, et al., GCN Circ. 16214). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 276.806, -55.556 deg, which is RA(J2000) = 18h 27m 13.5s Dec(J2000) = -55d 33' 20.2" with an uncertainty of 1.6 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 11%. The mask-weighted light curve a bright initial pulse strting at ~T-5 sec, peaking at ~T+0.2 sec, and returning to baseline at ~T+5 sec. Then there were two weaker peaks at ~T+60 sec and at ~T+110 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 111.1 +- 9.6 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.20 to T+120.18 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.68 +- 0.16. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.8 +- 0.3 x 10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.00 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 10.9 +- 0.9 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/598284/BA/
