Ukwatta (GWU); (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-240 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 081008 (trigger #331093) (Racusin et al., GCN Circ. 8344). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 279.968, -57.433 deg which is RA(J2000) = 18h 39m 52.4s Dec(J2000) = -57d 25' 58.8" with an uncertainty of 1.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 81%. The mask-weighted lightcurve shows two strong peaks at T+0 and T+110s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 185.5 +- 40.3 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-65 to T+201 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. A cutoff-power law model is also an acceptable fit with an E_peak of 88 keV. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.69 +- 0.07. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 4.3 +- 0.2 x 10^-06 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+7.52 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.3 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
