Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 160607A (trigger #689597)
(Ukwatta, et al., GCN Circ. 19502). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 13.661, -4.952 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 00h 54m 38.8s
Dec(J2000) = -04d 57' 08.0"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 84%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a complex structure of multiple peaks. The
first complex begins at T-3 sec, peaks at T+12 and decays to baseline by T+24
sec. This is followed by another weaker peak from T+30 to T+36 sec and then
very weak emission out to T+80 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 33.4 +- 0.45 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-13.89 to T+44.08 sec is best fit by a power
law with an exponential cutoff. This fit gives a photon index 1.15 +- 0.10,
and Epeak of 245.1 +- 92.7 keV (chi squared 28.56 for 56 d.o.f.). For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.1 +- 0.0 x 10^-5 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+11.65 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
21.8 +- 0.5 ph/cm2/sec. A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 1.37 +- 0.02 (chi squared 44.40 for 57 d.o.f.). All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
