Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 210411C (trigger #1042398)
(Sbarrato et al., GCN Circ. 29794). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 296.601, -39.399 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 19h 46m 24.2s
Dec(J2000) = -39d 23' 57.8"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 79%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that
starts at ~T0 and ends at ~T+17 s. The two major peaks occur at ~T+4 s
and ~T+11 s, respectively. T90 (15-350 keV) is 12.80 +- 0.60 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.45 to T+14.44 sec is best fit by a
power law
with an exponential cutoff. This fit gives a photon index 1.60 +- 0.40,
and Epeak of 14.8 +- 10.8 keV (chi squared 51.24 for 56 d.o.f.). For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.2 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+3.87 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
4.8 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 2.62 +- 0.09 (chi squared 68.87 for 57 d.o.f.). All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
