Using the data set from T-120 to T+183 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 060912 (trigger #229185)
(Hurkett, et al., GCN Circ. 5558). The BAT ground-calculated position
is RA,Dec = 5.286,+20.971 deg {0h 21m 8.7s,+20d 58' 16.3"} (J2000)
+- 0.9 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 33%.
The mask-weighted lightcurve has a single peak with a faster rise than decay.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 5.0 +- 0.5 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.6 to T+6.1 is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.74 +- 0.09. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.3 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.02 sec in the 15-150 keV
band is 8.5 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90%
confidence level.
The spectral lag calculation (Norris & Bonnell, ApJ, 2006) shows this
burst to be clearly in the long-burst class. The lag is 190 +28 -40 ms
between the 15-25 and 50-100 keV bands and 83 +43 -43 ms
between the 25-50 and 100-350 bands.
