Using the data set from T-239 to T+630 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 110212A (trigger #445321)
(D'Elia, et al., GCN Circ. 11699Loading...
 
 ).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 69.025, 43.716 deg which is
     RA(J2000)  =  04h 36m 06.0s
     Dec(J2000) = +43d 42' 56.2"
with an uncertainty of 1.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 71%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows two peaks, the first from T-0.6 s to T+1.6 s
and the second from T+1.8 to T+2.6 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 3.3 +- 0.5 sec
(estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.8 to T+2.6 sec is best fit by a power law
with an exponential cutoff.  This fit gives a photon index 0.78 +- 0.85,
and Epeak of 44.6 +- 10.2 keV (chi squared 54.29 for 56 d.o.f.).  For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.4 +- 0.3 x 10-7  erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+0.26 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
1.5 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 1.93 +- 0.15 (chi squared 61.44 for 57 d.o.f.).  All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
