Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 240529A (trigger #1231488)
(Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 36556). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 335.341, 51.557 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 22h 21m 22.0s
Dec(J2000) = +51d 33' 25.2"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 26%.
The mask weighted lightcurve shows a complex lightcurve structure with a relatively
gradual rise to the peak at trigger time and multiple pulses present at late times,
at t ~30 and ~50 sec after the trigger time.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 160.67 +- 14.52 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from -74.8 to 226.4 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.68 +- 0.04. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.1 +- 0.0 x 10^-05 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.17 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 7.7 +- 0.6 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
