    At 13:18:25 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 241115 ***A*** (trigger=1267921).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 86.765, -0.662 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 05h 47m 04s
       Dec(J2000) = -00d 39' 44"
    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 ~7661 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.
