Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 150811A (trigger #651882)
(Evans, et al., GCN Circ. 18119). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 291.347, -15.434 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 19h 25m 23.3s
Dec(J2000) = -15d 26' 00.8"
with an uncertainty of 1.9 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 67%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a single FRED-like pulse that starts
at ~T+1 s, peaks at ~T+6 s, and ends at ~T+40 s. T90 (15-350 keV)
is 34.00 +- 6.25 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+1.51 to T+40.36 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
2.13 +- 0.27. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 4.9 +- 0.8 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+6.59 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.5 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
