Using the data set from T-240 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 180925A (trigger #863421)
(Gropp et al., GCN Circ. 23268). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 315.212, -64.450 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 21h 00m 50.9s
Dec(J2000) = -64d 26' 59.2"
with an uncertainty of 1.5 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 15%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts
at ~T-5 s and ends at ~T+105 s. The main peak occurs at ~ T+1 s.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 81.70 +- 23.25 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-4.44 to T+103.96 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.53 +- 0.13. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 4.1 +- 0.3 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.87 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 3.1 +- 0.6 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
