Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 211225B (trigger #1090853)
(Page et al., GCN Circ. 31305

 ).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 258.545, 17.277 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  17h 14m 10.9s
   Dec(J2000) = +17d 16' 37.2"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts
at ~T-25 s and likely lasts beyond ~T+152 s when the burst went out of the
BAT
field of view. The main peak occurs at ~T+50 s. T90 (15-350 keV)
estimated from the available data when the burst was inside the BAT field
of view is 121.54 +- 2.94 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-24.78 to T+139.82 sec is best fit by
a power law with an exponential cutoff.  This fit gives a photon
index 1.31 +- 0.14, and Epeak of 139.9 +- 51.5 keV (chi squared 52.29
for 56 d.o.f.).  For this model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV
band is 1.5 +- 0.03 x 10^-5 erg/cm2 and the 1-sec peak flux measured
from T+50.19 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 6.1 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec.
A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index of 1.59 +- 0.03
(chi squared 64.87 for 57 d.o.f.).  All the quoted errors are at
the 90% confidence level.
