    At 04:37:10 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 240313 ***A*** (trigger=1219909).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 135.660, -39.428 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 09h 02m 38s
       Dec(J2000) = -39d 25' 41"
    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 ~976 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~7 sec after the trigger.
