Using the data set from T-240 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 240805A (trigger #1246907) (Dichiara, et al., GCN Circ. 37032). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 190.919, -53.603 deg which is RA(J2000) = 12h 43m 40.6s Dec(J2000) = -53d 36' 10.3" with an uncertainty of 0.79 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 31%.
The mask-weighted BAT light curve shows a complex structure. T90 (15-350 keV) is 37.34 +- 6.22 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-3.936 to T+258.128 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.21 +- 0.06. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 8.7 +- 0.3 x 10^-06 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+3.28 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 8.0 +- 0.5 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
