Using the data set from T-302 to T+110 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 060223B (trigger #192152)
(Cummings, et al., GCN 4821). The BAT ground-calculated position is
(RA,Dec) = 254.240, -30.820 deg {16h 56m 57.7s, -30d 49' 10.8"} (J2000)
+- 0.7 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding
was 67%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a single broad peak from T-8 to T+6
with several subpeaks on top. There is no obvious spectral evolution
visible. In the lowest energy band, low-level emission extends out to T+50
secs. T90 (15-350 keV) is 10.2 +- 1 sec (estimated error including
systematics). Due to a preplanned slew, the BAT FOV moved away from the
burst at about T+110 sec, and no information is available about any
possible extended emission after that time.
The time-averaged spectrum from T-7.0 to T+4.9 is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power-law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.49 +- 0.07. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is
1.6 +- 0.1 x 10^-06 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from
T+3.0 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 2.9 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the
quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
