Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 110128A (trigger #443861)
(Grupe, et al., GCN Circ. 11603Not found
 
 
).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 193.871, 28.108 deg which is
     RA(J2000)  =  12h 55m 29.0s
     Dec(J2000) = +28d 06' 28.7"
with an uncertainty of 2.3 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 37%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a single broad peak extending from
approximately T-3 sec to T+40 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 30.7 +- 18.1 sec
(estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.4 to T+48.3 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.31 +- 0.30.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 7.2 +- 1.4 x 10-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+3.58 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.8 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
