Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 240727A (trigger #1245074)
(Parsotan, et al., GCN Circ. 36938). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 236.451, 8.612 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 15h 45m 48.2s
Dec(J2000) = +08d 36' 41.8"
with an uncertainty of 1.6 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
The mask-weighted BAT light curve shows a complex structure with a duration of ~ 215 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 177.88 +- 35.46 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-6.79 to T+201.06 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.62 +- 0.18. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.4 +- 0.2 x 10^-06 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+3.12 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 0.4 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
