Using the data set from T-239 to T+711 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 150527A (trigger #641698)
(Evans, et al., GCN Circ. 17874). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 288.962, 4.195 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 19h 15m 50.9s
Dec(J2000) = +04d 11' 41.0"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 99%.
The mask-weighted light curves shows a multi-peak event starting at ~T-45 sec,
with the brightest peak at ~T-14, and ending at T+25 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 112 +- 80 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-111.44 to T+16.56 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.69 +- 0.10. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 3.1 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-7.94 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.3 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
