The BAT spectrum was fitted with a cut-off power-law. The cutoff energy was 28.9 keV and was not allowed to evolve. See caveats for details.

All data uses absorption N_H=0.150 × 10²² cm^-2 at z=0.

BAT flux light curves, no spectral evolution

The fit to the T₉₀ spectrum was used to create the plots in this section.
T₉₀ was 4.2, from -2.2 to 2.0
The spectral fit used was a cut-off power-law with photon index: 0.5 and cut-off energy 28.9 keV.
