    At 19:24:34 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 180510 ***A*** (trigger=831810).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 276.318, -31.911 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 18h 25m 16s
       Dec(J2000) = -31d 54' 38"
    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 ~8003 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~5 sec after the trigger.
