Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 250615A (trigger #1324646)
(Dichiara, et al., GCN Circ. 40736). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 290.384, 4.679 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 19h 21m 32.1s
Dec(J2000) = +04d 40' 44.0"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 56%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a complex structure that
starts at T-5 sec, peaks at T+5 sec, and ends at T+77 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 52.5 +- 10.3 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from -5.2 to 77.3 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.22 +- 0.08. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 3.8 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+3.29 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 4.1 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
