Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 210222B (trigger #1034325)
(Gropp et al., GCN Circ. 29545). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 154.631, -14.946 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 10h 18m 31.4s
Dec(J2000) = -14d 56' 45.7"
with an uncertainty of 2.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 38%.
The BAT light curve showed a two peaked structure with a duration of about ~20 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 12.82 +- 1.28 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-11.37 to T+2.72 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
2.37 +- 0.33. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 3.4 +- 0.7 x 10^-07 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.87 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.4 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
