Using the data set from T-239 to T+766 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 101219B (trigger #440635)
(Gelbord, et al., GCN Circ. 11473). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 12.259, -34.556 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 00h 49m 01.9s
Dec(J2000) = -34d 33' 21.6"
with an uncertainty of 3.9 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 7%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a broad peak starting at ~T+20 sec
and ending at ~T+60 sec. However, given that there was a pre-planned slew
ending just before T_zero, we can not rule out that was actvitity before
this source came into the BAT FoV. T90 (15-350 keV) is 34 +- 5 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+10 to T+60 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.56 +- 0.16. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.1 +- 0.4 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+26.84 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.6 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
