Using the data set from T-239 to T+903 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 080905B (trigger #323898)
(Stroh, et al., GCN Circ. 8182). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 301.746, -62.568 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 20h 06m 59.1s
Dec(J2000) = -62d 34' 03.8"
with an uncertainty of 1.9 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 37%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows two clusters pf peaks. The first starts
at ~T-2 sec and almost returns to background levels as the second cluster
starts around T+40 sec. The second cluster returns to background at ~T+220 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 128 +- 16 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-15.5 to T+128.5 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.78 +- 0.15. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.8 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+8.02 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.5 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
