    At 12:22:52 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 240419 ***A*** (trigger=1223072).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 325.877, +4.234 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 21h 43m 30s
       Dec(J2000) = +04d 14' 01"
    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 ~2049 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~119 sec after the trigger.
