Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 191122A (trigger #938899)
(Sbarufatti, et al., GCN Circ. 26269). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 54.290, -32.176 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 03h 37m 09.7s
Dec(J2000) = -32d 10' 35.4"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 26%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a single FRED-shaped pulse rising from
T-20 sec to T+0 sec, then decaying out to roughly T+250 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 153.3 +- 38.3 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from -11.2 to 245.4 sec is best fit by a power law
with an exponential cutoff. This fit gives a photon index 1.24 +- 0.28,
and Epeak of 89.2 +- 41.9 keV (chi squared 69.11 for 56 d.o.f.). For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.6 +- 0.3 x 10^-6 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+6.44 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
3.1 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec. A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 1.67 +- 0.07 (chi squared 76.48 for 57 d.o.f.). All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
