Using the data set from T-239 to T+304 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 180924A (trigger #863186)
(Ukwata, et al., GCN Circ. 23261). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 49.207, -58.524 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 03h 16m 49.7s
Dec(J2000) = -58d 31' 27.6"
with an uncertainty of 1.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a couple peaks starting at ~T-90 sec,
peaking at ~T=50 and ~T0 sec, and returning to baseline ~T+30 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 95.1 +- 10.9 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-85.15 to T+26.35 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.94 +- 0.14. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.4 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+2.73 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.6 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
