Zhang (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift Team:\n\nAt 11:16:10 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and\nlocated GRB 120918A (trigger=534015).  Swift could not slew to the\nburst because of the Sun constraint. \nThe BAT on-board calculated location is \nRA, Dec 181.054, -32.758 which is \n   RA(J2000) = 12h 04m 13s\n   Dec(J2000) = -32d 45' 26\"\nwith an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including \nsystematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a complex\nstructure with a duration of about 50 sec.  The peak count rate\nwas ~2500 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. \n\nDue to a Sun observing constraint, Swift cannot slew to the BAT\nposition until 17:37 UT on 2012 November 15. There will thus be no XRT\nor UVOT data for this trigger before this time. \n\nBurst Advocate for this burst is B. N. Barlow (bnb2 AT psu.edu). \nPlease contact the BA by email if you require additional information\nregarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after\ntrying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see\nSwift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/too.html.)",
