Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 110818A (trigger
#500914) (Markwardt, et al., GCN Circ. 12279). The BAT
ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 317.373, -63.981 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 21h 09m 29.6s
Dec(J2000) = -63d 58' 52.7"
with an uncertainty of 1.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 29%.
The mask-weighted light curve consists of a single broad peak, with
several sharper peaks superimposed. T90 (15-350 keV) is 103 +- 18 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-14.2 to T+117.4 sec is best fit by a
simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged
spectrum is 1.58 +- 0.11. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 4.0 +-
0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+27.3
sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.6 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted
errors are at the 90% confidence level.
