Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 091109B (trigger #375409)
(Oates, et al., GCN Circ. 10148). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 112.750, -54.092 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 07h 30m 59.9s
Dec(J2000) = -54d 05' 30.6"
with an uncertainty of 1.2 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 76%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a single symmetrical peak of duration 0.32
seconds. There is no sign of extended emission.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 0.3 +- 0.03 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.0 to T+0.3 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
0.71 +- 0.13. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.9 +- 0.2 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.33 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 5.4 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
