Using the data set from T-61 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 231129A (trigger #1199764)
(Gropp et al., GCN Circ. 35208). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 317.541, 41.530 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 21h 10m 09.8s
Dec(J2000) = +41d 31' 48.3"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 46%.
The BAT light curve shows a complex structure with a duration of ~ 130 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 105.46 +- 1.83 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.75 to T+118.97 sec is best fit by a power law
with an exponential cutoff. This fit gives a photon index 1.35 +- 0.17,
and Epeak of 83.7 +- 14.6 keV (chi squared 51.44 for 56 d.o.f.). For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.3 +- 0.0 x 10^-05 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+88.71 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 1.78 +- 0.04 (chi squared 70.95 for 57 d.o.f.). All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
