Using the data set from T-239 to T+792 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 250108B (trigger #1280056)
(Klinger et al., GCN Circ. 38847). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 201.312, 25.622 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 13h 25m 14.8s
Dec(J2000) = +25d 37' 19.4"
with an uncertainty of 1.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 89%.
The mask-weighted light curve exhibits multi-peaked structures, including evidence of precursor emission prior to the main burst. T90 (15-350 keV) is 229.66 +- 43.30 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-63.14 to T+218.21 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.63 +- 0.19. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.7 +- 0.2 x 10^-06 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+1.56 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.6 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
