Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 151023A (trigger #661253)
(D'Avanzo, et al., GCN Circ. 18450). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 271.012, -8.289 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 18h 04m 02.9s
Dec(J2000) = -08d 17' 19.7"
with an uncertainty of 1.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 83%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a single-pulse structure that starts at ~ T-1 s,
peaks at ~T0, and ends at ~ T+10 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 10.66 +- 4.41 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.65 to T+12.16 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
2.24 +- 0.24. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.6 +- 0.4 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.03 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.
