Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 120804A (trigger #529686)
(Lien, et al., GCN Circ. 13573). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 233.951, -28.768 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 15h 35m 48.1s
Dec(J2000) = -28d 46' 06.1"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 24%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows two overlapping peaks starting
at ~T-0.2 sec, peaking at ~T+0.1 and ~T+0.5 sec, and ending at ~T+1.0 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 0.81 +- 0.08 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.16 to T+0.83 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.34 +- 0.08. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 8.8 +- 0.5 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.16 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 10.8 +- 0.6 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
