    At 05:44:17 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 230121 ***A*** (trigger=1150107).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 70.267, +44.525 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 04h 41m 04s
       Dec(J2000) = +44d 31' 30"
    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 ~816 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~15 sec after the trigger.
