At 20:13:47 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 071227 (trigger=299787).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst. 
The BAT on-board calculated location is 
RA, Dec 58.120, -55.953 which is 
  RA(J2000) = 03h 52m 29s
  Dec(J2000) = -55d 57' 08"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed at least three 
spikes with a duration of about 5 sec.  The peak count rate
was ~4500 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0.5 sec after the trigger.

At 00:03:55 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 071129 (trigger=297628).  Swift did not slew to this burst
because of the Sun observing constraint (23deg is less than 45 deg). 
The BAT on-board calculated location is 
RA, Dec 220.090, -26.659, which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  14h 40m 22s
   Dec(J2000) = -26d 39' 31"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve shows a single peak
with a duration of about 30 sec.  The peak count rate
was ~1000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~5 sec after the trigger.

At 02:43:46 UT on October 28, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT)
triggered on GRB 071028B (trigger #295492). The burst was on the edge
of the field of view (4.1% coded) and no source was found automatically
onboard. A source was found during later ground analysis at a location
RA, Dec 354.163, -31.630 which is
   RA(J2000)  =  23h 36m 39s
   Dec(J2000) = -31d 37' 47"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve shows two FRED peaks,
the first at T+1 sec about 4 seconds long, the second at T+48 sec about
9 seconds long. The peak count rate was about 1500 counts/sec
(15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.

with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including

TDRSS lightcurve does not show any significant signal (as is typical). 
This location is well off the Galactic plane and does not mach any known
sources in SIMBAD.  Given that it is a long image trigger, this was
automatically classifed as a transient instead of a GRB.  We will need
the full data set to determine if this is a burst or transient.

At 12:40:13 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 071011 (trigger=293924).  Swift did not execute an immediate slew
because of an Earth-observing constraint, but it will at ~T+2700 sec. 
The BAT on-board calculated location is 
RA, Dec 8.400, +61.072 which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  00h 33m 36s
   Dec(J2000) = +61d 04' 21"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve shows two peaks each of
~10 sec duration.  The second peak is at ~T+48 sec. 
The peak count rate was ~1800 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec
after the trigger.

At 22:20:22 UT on October 10, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT)
triggered on GRB 071010C (trigger #293804). The burst was on the edge 
of the field of view (3.5% coded) and no source was found automatically 
onboard. A source was found during later ground analysis at a location 
RA, Dec 338.054, +66.159 which is
   RA(J2000)  =  22h 32m 13s
   Dec(J2000) = +66d 09' 32"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve shows a single 
slow-rise slow-decay peak about 12 seconds long. The peak count 
rate was about 1000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.

At 06:41:40 UT on October 6, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT)
triggered on GRB 071006. The burst began just before a preplanned
slew, and no source was found automatically onboard. A source was 
found during later ground analysis, at a location of 
RA, Dec 335.282, -23.154, which is
   RA(J2000)  =  22h 21m 07s
   Dec(J2000) = -23d 09' 14"
with an uncertainty of 2 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve shows two small peaks
on top of a gradual rise to a large peak at T+32 sec. The total
duration is about 80 sec. The spectrum appears to be of average
hardness for a long GRB.

At 18:28:00 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 070808 (trigger=287260).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst. 
The BAT on-board calculated location is 
RA, Dec 6.766, +1.166 which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  00h 27m 04s
   Dec(J2000) = +01d 09' 59"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a single FRED peak
structure with a duration of about 10 sec.  The peak count rate
was ~2000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger.

Using the data set from T-240 to T+302 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report analysis of BAT GRB 070731 (trigger #286574).  The spacecraft
did not slew to the location because of a Moon constraint.  It will come out
of Moon constraint 02 Aug 07 UT.  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 328.581, -15.740 deg  which is

At approximately 03:18 +/-5min UT BAT triggered on a possible GRB
(trigger 284850).  Swift automatically slewed to the location
RA=43.94 Dec=+30.24 (J2000).  The uncertainty is 6 arcmin.
We are uncertain about both the time and the location at this time
because the trigger occurred during a TDRSS outage,
so most of the regular TDRSS Notices were lost.  We are also
in the middle of the computer downtime as announced earlier today,
so analysis of the full Malindi downlink data will have to wait until
late Saturday UT.

that the burst started at ~T-70 sec, but since Swift was executing
a preplanned slew from ~T-35 to T_0 sec, it is difficult to interpret

is bright and variable activity in the TDRSS lightcurve starting at T+100 sec
and lasting to 600 sec.  This may be long-term burst activity, although we can
not rule out a contribution from a bright galactic source such as Cyg X-1
coming into the FOV (due to the slew).  We will be able to separate this
ambiguity when we get the full Malindi data to construct a mask-weighted

At 06:18:13 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 070420 (trigger=276321).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
The BAT on-board calculated location is
RA, Dec 121.253, -45.561 which is
   RA(J2000) = 08h 05m 01s
   Dec(J2000) = -45d 33' 38"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a multiply-peaked
structure with a duration of at least 70 sec starting at T-50s.
The peak count rate was ~4000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~7 sec
after the trigger.

We report on the first GRB found solely from imaging using BAT slew data,
from a test run carried out in March 2007 of what will become the BAT Slew
Survey (BATSS; Grindlay, astro-ph# 0704.3294). A 58sec-long slew which
began on 2007-03-26 16:29:10 UT, from a prior SAA passage onto Swift
observation number 00271019007, included a burst (hereafter referred to as
GRB 070326) detected independently at 8.9 sigma and 6.9 sigma in the
15-50keV and 50-150keV energy bands, respectively. The GRB T0 occurred 2
sec after the start of the slew. The averaged position of the burst was
found to be:
  RA(J2000) = 2h 41m 20.8s
  Dec(J2000) = -66d 59' 21"
with an uncertainty radius of 3.9 arcmin (99% confidence).
The time-averaged coding fraction at the burst location was 65% and the
exposure time was 58.0 sec.

At 09:10:34 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 070208 (trigger=259714).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
The BAT on-board calculated location is
RA, Dec 197.920, +61.959 which is
   RA(J2000)  =  13h 11m 41s
   Dec(J2000) = +61d 57' 31"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve shows a single peak structure
with a duration of about 2 sec.  The peak count rate
was ~1200 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger.

At 02:33:26 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located a possible source (trigger=257741).  Swift slewed immediately
to the location.
The BAT on-board calculated location is
RA, Dec 33.460, -73.523 which is
   RA(J2000) = 02h 13m 50s
   Dec(J2000) = -73d 31' 23"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve shows no significant variation,
which is not uncommon for image triggers. We will have to wait for ground
analysis to determine if this is a real source.
