Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 230116C (trigger #1149250)
(Sonbas et al., GCN Circ. 33173). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 223.467, -16.883 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 14h 53m 52.0s
Dec(J2000) = -16d 52' 57.5"
with an uncertainty of 1.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 65%.
The BAT light curve showed a complex structure with a duration of about 400 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 316.77 +- 52.50 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-35.86 to T+346.68 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.72 +- 0.14. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.1 +- 0.5 x 10^-06 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+247.71 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.8 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
