    At 16:38:46 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 240303 ***A*** (trigger=1218501).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
The BAT on-board calculated location is 
RA, Dec 300.018, +34.609 which is 
   RA(J2000) = 20h 00m 04s
   Dec(J2000) = +34d 36' 32"
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 ~1281 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~5 sec after the trigger.
