Using the data set from T-240 to T+200 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 170803A (trigger #766081)
(LaPorte et al., GCN Circ. 21405
Not found
 
 
).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 174.947, -16.312 deg which is
  RA(J2000)  =  11h 39m 47.2s
  Dec(J2000) = -16d 18' 41.9"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 94%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that
starts at ~T-0.7 s and ends at ~T+4 s. The main peak occurs at ~T+0.1 s
T90 (15-350 keV) is 3.82 +- 0.23 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.69 to T+4.14 sec is best fit by a power law
with an exponential cutoff.  This fit gives a photon index 0.65 +- 0.28,
and Epeak of 100.2 +- 20.5 keV (chi squared 47.53 for 56 d.o.f.).  For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 9.8 +- 0.4 x 10^-7 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T-0.12 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
6.5 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec.  A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 1.39 +- 0.06 (chi squared 71.10 for 57 d.o.f.).  All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
