At 10:08:02 UT Swift-BAT detected GRB 050802 (trigger=148646)
(GCN Circ 3734, Band, et al.). The refined BAT ground position
is (RA,Dec) = 219.287, +27.806 {14h37m08.9s, 27d48'21.6"} [deg; J2000]
+-3 arcmin, (95% containment). The partial coding was 27%.
The light curve has a 5 second rise time to the first and largest
of 3 symmetrical peaks in the interval T-5 to T+13 seconds. There
is a hint of a small peak at T+30 seconds. T90 (15-350 keV) is
(13 +- 2) seconds (estimated error including systematics).
The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.6 +- 0.1.
The fluence in the 15-350 keV band is (2.8 +- 0.3) x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-s peak photon flux measured from T0-0.4 second in the 15-350 keV
band is (3.3 +- 0.5) ph/cm2/s. All the quoted errors are at the 90%
confidence level.
There was no BAT Position GCN Notice on this burst, because none was
transmitted from the spacecraft. The cause is being investigated.
