Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 200901A (trigger #994143)
(Simpson et al., GCN Circ. 28335Loading...
 
 ).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 61.759, -59.901 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  04h 07m 02.3s
   Dec(J2000) = -59d 54' 03.4"
with an uncertainty of 1.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 21%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows several overlapping pulses that start
at ~T-5 s and end at ~T+27 s. The main peak occurs at ~T0.
The burst location went out of the BAT field of view at ~T+514 s.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 20.37 +- 7.55 sec (estimated error including
systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-4.43 to T+26.59 sec is best fit by a
simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.72 +- 0.11.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.9 +- 0.2 x 10^-6
erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.01 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 7.7 +- 0.6 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
