    At 01:13:16 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 170813 ***A*** (trigger=767563).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 201.054, -5.469 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 13h 24m 13s
       Dec(J2000) = -05d 28' 07"
    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 ~2115 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~-6 sec after the trigger.
