Using the data set from T-131 to T+1366 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of Swift/BAT GRB 101225A (trigger #441015)
(Racusin, et al., GCN Circ. 11493). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 0.2037, +44.5739 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 00h 00m 48.9s Dec(J2000) = +44d 34' 26.0"
with an uncertainty of 3.6 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 85%.
The mask-tagged light curve shows that the GRB entered the BAT field of view at
~T-80 sec during a pre-planned slew. The flux slowly declined after this point
and then increased at about T+600 seconds. There were less significant
fluctuations until the end of the event data at about T+1300. T90 (15-350 keV)
is 1088.0 +- 20.0 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+0 to T+963 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.82 +- 0.32. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.9 +- 0.4 x 10-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.00 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.0 +- 0.0 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
