Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 151027B (trigger #661869)
(Ukwatta, et al., GCN Circ. 18499Not found
 
 
).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 76.188, -6.428 deg which is
  RA(J2000)  =  05h 04m 45.0s
  Dec(J2000) = -06d 25' 40.2"
with an uncertainty of 2.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 17%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a complex structure with several
overlapping peaks that starts at  ~T0 and ends at ~T+100 s. T90 (15-350 keV)
is 80.00 +- 35.78 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T+1.00 to T+97.00 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.83 +- 0.27.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.5 +- 0.3 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-s peak photon flux is unconstrained due to the weakness of the burst.
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
