    At 21:31:34 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 250116 ***A*** (trigger=1282245).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 339.636, +3.074 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 22h 38m 33s
       Dec(J2000) = +03d 04' 26"
    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 ~7149 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~6 sec after the trigger.
