Using the data set from T-239 to T+771 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 131205A (trigger #580267)
(Ukwatta, et al., GCN Circ. 15578Not found
 
 
).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 131.573, -60.181 deg which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  08h 46m 17.6s 
   Dec(J2000) = -60d 10' 51.5" 
with an uncertainty of 2.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 95%.
 
The mask-weighted light curves two peaks starting at ~T-5, peaking at ~T+1,
and ending at ~T+5 sec, and the second peak from ~T+18 to ~T+22 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 37.5 +- 9.6 sec (estimated error including systematics).
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T-18.50 to T+20.41 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.57 +- 0.38.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.9 +- 0.7 x 10^-07 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+19.30 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.6 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
