Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 131105A (trigger #576738)
(Cummings, et al., GCN Circ. 15446Loading...
 
 ).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 70.973, -63.005 deg which is
  RA(J2000)  =  04h 43m 53.5s
  Dec(J2000) = -63d 00' 17.7"
with an uncertainty of 1.5 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 7%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a multi-peak structure starts
at ~T+0 sec and ends at ~T+126 sec. The light curve consists of
~ 5 obvious peaks. T90 (15-350 keV) is 112.3 +- 4.1 sec (estimated
error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T+6.8 to T+125.6 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.45 +- 0.11.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 7.1 +- 0.5 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+116.64 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 3.5 +- 0.6 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
