    At 20:24:21 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 170307 ***A*** (trigger=741528).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 13.535, +9.537 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 00h 54m 08s
       Dec(J2000) = +09d 32' 11"
    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 ~8294 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~-10 sec after the trigger.
