Using the data set from T-571 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 250129A (trigger #1285812)
(Beardmore, et al., GCN Circ. 39066Loading...
 
 ).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 198.708, 5.029 deg which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  13h 14m 49.8s 
   Dec(J2000) = +05d 01' 44.9" 
with an uncertainty of 1.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 84%.
 
The mask-weighted BAT light curve exhibits a multi-peaked and complex structure, with the most prominent peak occurring at approximately T0 + 184 seconds. T90 (15-350 keV) is 262.25 +- 23.71 sec (estimated error including systematics).
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T-64.39 to T+302.62 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
2.17 +- 0.09.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 5.0 +- 0.2 x 10^-06 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+184.12 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.4 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
