Lightcurves
Notes:
- 1) The mask-weighted light curves are using the flight position.
- 2) Multiple plots of different time binning/intervals are shown to cover all scenarios of short/long GRBs, rate/image triggers, and real/false positives.
- 3) 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.
- 4) 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.
- 5) Time of each bin is in the middle of the bin.

Spectral Evolution
Spectra
Notes:
- 1) The fitting includes the systematic errors.
- 2) When the burst includes telescope slew time periods, the fitting uses an average response file made from multiple 5-s response files through out the slew time plus single time preiod for the non-slew times, and weighted by the total counts in the corresponding time period using addrmf. An average response file is needed becuase a spectral fit using 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.
