Lightcurves
Notes:
- 1) The mask-weighted lightcurves have units of either count/det or counts/sec/det, where a det is 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.16 sq cm.
- 2) 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 (for the best duration plot, slew times are marked by green arrows).
- 3) For lightcurves in unit of count rate, time of each bin is in the middle of the bin.

Spectral Evolution
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.
