    At 12:06:28 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 230510 ***A*** (trigger=1167973).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 318.156, +34.443 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 21h 12m 37s
       Dec(J2000) = +34d 26' 33"
    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 ~5163 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~13 sec after the trigger.
