Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 210901A (trigger #1071488)
(Laha et al., GCN Circ. 30746Not found
 
 
).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 295.224, -76.942 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  19h 40m 53.8s
   Dec(J2000) = -76d 56' 31.9"
with an uncertainty of 1.9 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 12%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a multi-peaked structure. The main
pulse structure start at ~T+30 s and ends at ~T+85 s, with the highest
peak occurring at ~T+60 s. In addition, there might be some weak emission
prior to the main pulses and starts at ~T-50 s. T90 (15-350 keV)
is 46.77 +- 7.87 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T+29.77 to T+84.70 sec is best fit by
a simple power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged
spectrum is 2.08 +- 0.17.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band
is 3.1 +- 0.3 x 10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from
T+60.64 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 2.4 +- 0.6 ph/cm2/sec.
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
