    At 14:29:26 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 211223 ***A*** (trigger=1090656).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 227.164, -26.873 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 15h 08m 39s
       Dec(J2000) = -26d 52' 20"
    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 ~2687 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.
