Using the data set from T-240 to T+963 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 060801 (trigger #222154)
(Racusin, et al., GCN Circ. 5378). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA,Dec = 212.987, 16.988 deg {14h 11m 56.9s, 16d 59' 17.4"} (J2000)
+- 1.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). This burst
was in the fully-coded field-of-view.
The mask-weighted lightcurve shows two overlapping peaks. The first,
and brighter of the two, starts at T+0.0 sec and peaks at ~T+0.06 sec.
The second peaks at ~T+0.50 sec and ends at ~T+0.7 sec. At the ~2-sigma
level, there is a possible short peak at ~T+1.3 sec. T90 (15-350 keV)
is 0.5 +- 0.1 sec (estimated error including systematics).
There is no obvious emission, soft or otherwise, in the T+10 to T+200 sec
time range.
The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.0 to T+0.6 is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum
is 0.47 +- 0.24. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is
8.1 +- 1.0 x 10^-8 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
from T-0.18 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.3 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
The lag for this burst is -0.008 +/- 0.008 sec, between the 25-50 keV
and 100-350 keV bands.
