    At 21:33:46 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 170419 ***A*** (trigger=748947).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 60.498, -15.143 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 04h 01m 59s
       Dec(J2000) = -15d 08' 32"
    with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
    systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a [**double-peaked**]
    structure with a duration of about TTT sec.  The peak count rate
    was ~16386 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~183 sec after the trigger.
