Using the data set from T-240 to T+1101 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 241228A (trigger #1277277)
(D'Elia et al., GCN Circ. 38681

 ).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 344.810, 18.608 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  22h 59m 14.4s
   Dec(J2000) = +18d 36' 28.6"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The
partial coding was 39%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows several overlapping pulses that start
at ~T-5 s and end at ~T+5 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 8.06 +- 0.53 sec
(estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-5.16 to T+4.71 sec is best fit by a power
law with an exponential cutoff.  This fit gives a photon index 0.90 +-
0.24, and Epeak of 61.0 +- 5.2 keV (chi squared 82.23 for 56 d.o.f.).  For
this model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 3.0 +- 0.1 x 10^-06
erg/cm2 and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+1.94 sec in the 15-150 keV
band is 13.1 +- 0.6 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90%
confidence level.
