    At 07:20:08 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 200227 ***A*** (trigger=958592).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 56.436, +9.491 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 03h 45m 45s
       Dec(J2000) = +09d 29' 27"
    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 ~4685 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~8 sec after the trigger.
