Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 150202A (trigger #629547)
(Krimm, et al., GCN Circ. 17376). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 39.261, -33.132 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 02h 37m 02.6s
Dec(J2000) = -33d 07' 56.1"
with an uncertainty of 1.7 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 60%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a complex structure with multiple peaks. The
first emission episode runs from T-2 to T+10 sec and then second episode from
T+12 to ~T+30 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 25.7 +- 4.3 sec (estimated error
including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.7 to T+27.1 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.50 +- 0.19. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.1 +- 0.7 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+17.40 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
1.0 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
