Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 120624B (trigger #525068)
(Vianello, et al., GCN Circ. 13379; Barthelmy, et al., GCN Circ. 13381).
The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 170.886, 8.933 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 11h 23m 32.6s
Dec(J2000) = +08d 56' 00.4"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 86%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows multiple overlapping episodes starting
from T-25 sec. There are two main episodes going from T-10 to T+70 sec with a
peak around T+35 sec, and the second episode starts T+120 sec and appears to
end around T+200 sec, with peaks at T+140 sec and T+170 sec. But the data ends
due to observing constraint and slewing to a pre-planned target. T90 (15-350 keV)
is greater than 192 sec due to the end of the mask-weighted light curve when
the source location left the field of view.
The time-averaged spectrum from T-15.1 to T+192.8 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.17 +- 0.03. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.83 +- 0.04 x 10^-5 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+138.06 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 5.5 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
