    At 11:05:46 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 240123 ***A*** (trigger=1210276).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 199.319, +60.632 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 13h 17m 16s
       Dec(J2000) = +60d 37' 53"
    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 ~1175 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~5 sec after the trigger.
