Using the data set from T-240 to T+651 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 081210 (trigger #337073)
(Krimm, et al., GCN Circ. 8648). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 70.485, -11.263 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 04h 41m 56.5s
Dec(J2000) = -11d 15' 46.0"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 96%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows several peaks. The first starts at
~T-30 sec. The second and brightest peaks at ~T+18 sec. The third peaks
at T+135 sec. There is possible forth peak at T+180 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 146 +- 8 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-12.9 to T+143.0 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.42 +- 0.14. 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+17.97 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 2.5 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
