    At 13:37:25 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 170107 ***A*** (trigger=730874).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 40.038, +39.132 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 02h 40m 09s
       Dec(J2000) = +39d 07' 57"
    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 ~1414 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~7 sec after the trigger.
