Using the data set from T-60 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 251017A (trigger #1404904) (Gupta, et al., GCN Circ. 42322). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 335.404, 7.048 deg which is RA(J2000) = 22h 21m 37.0s Dec(J2000) = +07d 02' 54.4" with an uncertainty of 1.3 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 93%.
The mask-weighted BAT light curve shows main emission followed by weaker emission. T90 (15-350 keV) is 116.90 +- 61.91 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-5.48 to T+125.08 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.40 +- 0.20. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.2 +- 0.1 x 10^-06 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+6.41 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.3 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
