Using the data set from T-300 to T+300 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 060306 (trigger
#200638) (Angelini, et al., GCN 4848). The BAT ground-calculated
position is (RA,Dec) = 41.096, -2.155 deg {2h 44m 23.0s, -2d 9' 19.3"} (J2000)
+- 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial
coding was 50%.
The light curve is a series of FRED-like peaks at T-1, T+1, T+27, T+43,
and T+60, with similar decay constants of ~2 sec. The dominant peak is
at T+1. The small peak at T+60 is soft compared to the others, which all
have similar spectra. T90 (15-350 keV) is 61 +- 2 sec (estimated error
including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.4 to T+66.9 is well fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.85 +- 0.10. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is
2.2 +- 0.1 x 10^-06 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
from T+0.20 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 6.1 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec.
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
