    At 05:57:29 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 190404 ***A*** (trigger=896552).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 164.407, -52.387 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 10h 57m 38s
       Dec(J2000) = -52d 23' 12"
    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 ~2408 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~122 sec after the trigger.
