Foreground time interval of the image:

Background time interval of the image:
-239.264 -31.264 (delta_t = 208.000 [sec])

Lightcurves

Notes:

1) All plots contain as much data as has been downloaded to date.
2) The mask-weighted light curves are using the flight position.
3) Multiple plots of different time binning/intervals are shown to cover all scenarios of short/long GRBs, rate/image triggers, and real/false positives.
4) For all the mask-weighted lightcurves, the y-axis units are counts/sec/det where a det is 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.16 sq cm.
5) The verticle lines correspond to following: green dotted lines are T50 interval, black dotted lines are T90 interval, blue solid line(s) is a spacecraft slew start time, and orange solid line(s) is a spacecraft slew end time.
6) Time of each bin is in the middle of the bin.

8 ms binning

From T100_start-3 s to T100_start+3 s

2 ms binning

From T100_start-1 s to T100_start+1 s

SN=5 or 10 sec. binning (whichever binning is satisfied first)

SN=5 or 10 sec. binning (T < 200 sec)

Spectra

Notes:

1) The fitting includes the systematic errors.
2) For long bursts, a spectral fit of the pre-slew DRM will introduce some errors in both a spectral shape and a normalization if the PHA file contains a lot of the slew/post-slew time interval.
3) For fits to more complicated models (e.g. a power-law over a cutoff power-law), the BAT team has decided to require a chi-square improvement of more than 6 for each extra dof.
4) For short bursts (T90<1sec), the specrtum is also fit with Blackbody, OTTB, and Double Blackbody.
