    At 14:40:09 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 190512 ***A*** (trigger=903357).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 82.440, -7.574 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 05h 29m 46s
       Dec(J2000) = -07d 34' 25"
    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 ~975 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~6 sec after the trigger.
