Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 091109 (trigger #375246)
(Oates, et al., GCN Circ. 10138). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 309.252, -44.177 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 20h 37m 00.5s
Dec(J2000) = -44d 10' 36.0"
with an uncertainty of 2.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 19%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a couple overlapping peaks. The first starts
at ~T-15 sec, peaks at ~T+10 sec. The second (weaker) peaks at ~T+40 sec and
ends at ~T+60 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 48 +- 17 sec (estimated error
including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.8 to T+51.5 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.31 +- 0.25. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.6 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+8.20 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.3 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
