Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 200901B (trigger #994165)
(Sbarufatti et al., GCN Circ. 28337
Not found
 
 
).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 217.860, -38.704 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  14h 31m 26.5s
   Dec(J2000) = -38d 42' 15.2"
with an uncertainty of 3.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 82%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows some weak emission that
starts at ~T0 and ends at ~T+900 s. The available event data end
at T+963 s, and the burst went out of the BAT FOV soon afterwards
(~T+1000 s). T90 (15-350 keV) is 705.94 +- 148.71 sec (estimated error
including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T+32.14 to T+901.32 sec is best fit by a
power law
with an exponential cutoff.  This fit gives a photon index 0.95 +- 0.63,
and Epeak of 46.7 +- 8.6 keV (chi squared 61.80 for 56 d.o.f.).  For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 4.3 +- 0.4 x 10^-6 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+68.62 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
0.4 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 1.95 +- 0.13 (chi squared 71.14 for 57 d.o.f.).  All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
