Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 201027A (trigger #1002158)
(S. B. Cenko, et al., GCN Circ. 28788Not found
 
 
).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 155.954, -5.499 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  10h 23m 49.0s
   Dec(J2000) = -05d 29' 56.8"
with an uncertainty of 1.9 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 44%.

The BAT light curve showed a complex structure with a duration of about 20 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 546.73 +- 420.95 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-3.86 to T+960 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.50 +- 0.00.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 0.0 +- 0.0 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.29 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.4 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
