(i.e. the Swift-BAT team):
Automated BAT ground analysis found a burst that occurred at 01:55:39 UT
with a significance of 8.2 sigma (15-200 keV) from the event data.
The event is temporally coincident with the Fermi GBM 352346136. The best
BAT location is RA, Dec = 122.4506, +29.6598 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 08h 09m 48.14s
Dec(J2000) = +29d 39' 35.3"
with an uncertainty of 2.5 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
Swift ToO has been requested.
