At 22:42:15 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 240221 ***A*** (trigger=1216748). Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
The BAT on-board calculated location is
RA, Dec 300.532, +35.038 which is
RA(J2000) = 20h 02m 08s
Dec(J2000) = +35d 02' 16"
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 ~984 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~2 sec after the trigger.
