    At 03:36:32 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 130211 ***A*** (trigger=548276).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 147.523, -42.339 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 09h 50m 05s
       Dec(J2000) = -42d 20' 18"
    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 ~1320 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.
