Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 090107 (trigger #339295)
(Ukwatta, et al., GCN Circ. 8782). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 302.409, 4.744 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 20h 09m 38.2s
Dec(J2000) = +04d 44' 37.9"
with an uncertainty of 2.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 74%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows two peaks. The first is about 1.2 sec wide
and peaks at ~T+0.9 sec. The second is about 6 sec wide and peaks at ~T+11 sec.
Because of the Sun observing constraint and because of a regular pre-planned
target slew, the BAT has no data on this event past T+260 sec, until the next orbit.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 12.2 +- 0.7 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.2 to T+12.9 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.69 +- 0.27. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.3 +- 0.5 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.30 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.1 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
