Let {\rm i}\partial\!\!\!/ be the Dirac operator on a D = 2d dimensional ball \mathcal{B} with radius R. We calculate the spectral asymmetry \eta(0,{\rm i}\partial\!\!\!/ ) for D = 2 and D = 4, when local chiral bag boundary conditions are imposed. With these boundary conditions, we also analyse the small-t asymptotics of the heat trace {\rm Tr} \big(F P\, {\rm e}^{-t P^2}\big) where P is an operator of Dirac type and F is an auxiliary smooth smearing function.
