(i.e. the Swift-BAT team):
Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 121125A (trigger #539563)
(Barlow, et al., GCN Circ. 12993). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 228.519, 55.318 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 15h 14m 04.6s
Dec(J2000) = +55d 19' 03.5"
with an uncertainty of 1.2 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 80%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows two clusters of overlapping peaks
that start at ~T-7 sec, peaks at ~T+37 sec, and ends at ~T+100 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 52.2 +- 4.6 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-6.31 to T+77.64 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.52 +- 0.06. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 4.7 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+36.56 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 2.9 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
