Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 150607A (trigger #642620)
(D'Elia, et al., GCN Circ. 17904). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 140.015, 68.436 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 09h 20m 03.6s
Dec(J2000) = +68d 26' 10.3"
with an uncertainty of 1.2 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 31%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows multiple peaks starting at ~T-2 sec,
the brightest peak at ~T+8 sec, and ending at ~T+40 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 26.3 +- 0.7 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.19 to T+27.58 sec is best fit by a power law
with an exponential cutoff. This fit gives a photon index 0.99 +- 0.41,
and Epeak of 84.9 +- 40.1 keV (chi squared 40.9 for 56 d.o.f.). For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.3 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+7.29 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
4.9 +- 0.5 ph/cm2/sec. A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 1.59 +- 0.10 (chi squared 48.1 for 57 d.o.f.). All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
