Using the data set from T-769 to T+303 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 260120B (trigger #1442454)
(Ferro et al., GCN Circ. 43479). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 284.701, 61.905 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 18h 58m 48.3s
Dec(J2000) = +61d 54' 19.2"
with an uncertainty of 2.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 9%.
The BAT light curve showed a single-peaked structure with a duration of about 10 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 4.48 +- 0.94 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.34 to T+4.59 sec is best fit by a power law
with an exponential cutoff. This fit gives a photon index -0.93 +- 1.35,
and Epeak of 103.9 +- 38.6 keV (chi squared 48.41 for 56 d.o.f.). For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.2 +- 0.1 x 10^-06 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+0.48 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
3.1 +- 0.8 ph/cm2/sec. A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 0.95 +- 0.21 (chi squared 57.22 for 57 d.o.f.). All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
