Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 120401A (trigger #519043)
(Beardmore, et al., GCN Circ. 13182
Not found
 
 
).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 58.057, -17.658 deg, which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  03h 52m 13.8s 
   Dec(J2000) = -17d 39' 29.6" 
with an uncertainty of 2.5 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
 
The mask-weighted light curve shows the burst was occuring when the location
came into the BAT FoV at T-100 sec during a preplanned slew.  There was a decline,
then a increase around T+0, and the a decline again returning to baseline
around T+180 sec.  We are not quoting a T90 because we did not observe
the burst in its entirety.
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T-92.97 to T+52.72 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.66 +- 0.23.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 9.1 +- 1.4 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-85 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.12 +- 0.04 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
