Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 150206A (trigger #630019)
(Hagen, et al., GCN Circ. 17413). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 10.076, -63.181 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 00h 40m 18.1s
Dec(J2000) = -63d 10' 50.8"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 48%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a slowly rising level starting at ~T-15 sec,
with two strong clusters of peaks at ~T+85 and ~T+98 sec, and returning
to baseline at ~T+230 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 83.2 +- 7.8 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-22.3 to T+164.1 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.33 +- 0.04. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.39 +- 0.03 x 10^-5 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+98.82 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 10.1 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
