Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 250331C (trigger #1299967)
(Cenko, et al., GCN Circ. 39959). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 80.963, 33.068 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 05h 23m 51.0s
Dec(J2000) = +33d 04' 03.4"
with an uncertainty of 2.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a dim pulse of emission with some possible
complex structure. The T90 (15-350 keV) is 70.10 +- 11.70 sec (estimated error
including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-12.59 to T+66.67 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.88 +- 0.23. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.6 +- 1.0 x 10^-07 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-3.19 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.3 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
