COMMENTS:        A point_source was found.  
COMMENTS:        This does not match any source in the on-board catalog.  
COMMENTS:        This does not match any source in the ground catalog.  
COMMENTS:        This is a GRB.  
COMMENTS:        Since the IMAGE_SIGNIF is less than 7 sigma, this is a questionable detection.

    At 21:30:20 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 240601 ***A*** (trigger=1232465).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 108.731, -6.206 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 07h 14m 55s
       Dec(J2000) = -06d 12' 20"
    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 ~1054 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~4 sec after the trigger.
