    At 10:51:03 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 240125 ***A*** (trigger=1210856).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
The BAT on-board calculated location is 
RA, Dec 299.711, +35.006 which is 
   RA(J2000) = 19h 58m 51s
   Dec(J2000) = +35d 00' 21"
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 ~953 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~4 sec after the trigger.
