Using the data set from T-119 to T+296 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 110820A (trigger #501095)
(Troja, et al., GCN Circ. 12288). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 343.203, 70.298 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 22h 52m 48.8s
Dec(J2000) = +70d 17' 51.2"
with an uncertainty of 2.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 99%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows two main peaks. The first started at ~T-5 sec,
peaking at ~T+2 sec, and ending at ~T+35 sec. The second starts at ~T+195 sec,
peaking at ~T+230, and ending at ~T+285 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 256 +- 50 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-7.07 to T+264.9 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.92 +- 0.28. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 8.2 +- 1.5 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.43 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.4 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
