    At 02:19:00 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 241213 ***A*** (trigger=1274039).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 116.148, +35.280 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 07h 44m 35s
       Dec(J2000) = +35d 16' 49"
    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 ~9527 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger.
