    At 16:41:56 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 180623 ***A*** (trigger=844015).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 214.511, -60.294 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 14h 18m 03s
       Dec(J2000) = -60d 17' 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 ~6581 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~61 sec after the trigger.
