Using the data set from T-299.1 to T+303.0 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 060204B
(trigger #180241) (Falcone, et al., GCN 4655). The BAT ground-calculated
position is (RA,Dec) = 211.812, 27.675 deg {14h 7m 14.9s, 27d 40' 29.1"}
(J2000) +- 0.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 77%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a strong peak with a slow rise starting
from T-30 sec to T+5 sec, and a faster decay till T+30 sec. The weak emission
extends to T+120 sec, and there is a small peak at T+120 sec. There is a
possible precursor at T-165 sec with a width of ~20 sec. T90 (15-350 keV)
is (134 +- 5) sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-24.4 to T+170.7 is best fit by
a power law with an exponential cutoff. This fit gives a photon index
0.82 +- 0.40, and Epeak of 96.8 +- 41.0 keV (chi squared 38.83 for 56 d.o.f.).
For this model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is
(3.0 +- 0.2) x 10^-06 erg/cm2 and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+5.04 sec
in the 15-150 keV band is (1.3 +- 0.2) ph/cm2/sec. A fit to a simple power law
gives a photon index of 1.46 +- 0.09 (chi squared 47.69 for 57 d.o.f.).
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
