    At 01:41:00 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 200122 ***A*** (trigger=950330).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 209.981, +27.566 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 13h 59m 55s
       Dec(J2000) = +27d 33' 56"
    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 ~10984 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~10 sec after the trigger.
