    At 13:49:27 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 100906 ***A*** (trigger=433509).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 28.709, +55.614 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 01h 54m 50s
       Dec(J2000) = +55d 36' 50"
    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 ~11648 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~183 sec after the trigger.
