Using the data set from T-187 to T+723 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 080411 (trigger #309010)
(Marshall, et al., GCN Circ. 7584). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 37.961, -71.297 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 02h 31m 50.6s
Dec(J2000) = -71d 17' 49.6"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 86%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows two clusters of overlapping peaks.
The first starts at T+0.0 sec and rises to a peak in 1 sec. The second peak
is at T+7 sec; the third at T+10 sec, and the 4th at T+19 sec at 25 cnt/cm2/sec
(15-150 keV). The lightcurve returns to background before the beginning
of the second cluster of peaks. The 5th peak starts at ~T+39 sec,
rises linearly, peaking at ~T+41 src at 43 cnts/cm2/sec. There are two more
much smaller peaks at T+55 and T+64 sec. The lightcurve returns to background
by ~T+95 sec. There is a gap in the downlinked data from T+300 to T+420 sec.
It appears that the burst has returned to background well before this gap,
but should later downlinks show on-going activity, we will issue an updated
circular. T90 (15-350 keV) is 56 +- 1 sec (estimated error including
systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.0 to T+84.3 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.75 +- 0.03. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.64 +- 0.01 x 10^-5 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+40.45 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 43.2 +- 0.9 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
