Palmer (LANL), M. H. Siegel (PSU) and T. N. Ukwatta (MSU) report\non behalf of the Swift Team:\n\nAt 22:30:28 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and\nlocated GRB 120922A (trigger=534394).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst. \nThe BAT on-board calculated location is \nRA, Dec 234.756, -20.177 which is \n   RA(J2000) = 15h 39m 01s\n   Dec(J2000) = -20d 10' 36\"\nwith an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including \nsystematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a multiple-peaked\nstructure with a duration of at least 130 sec.  The peak count rate\nwas ~3000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~102 sec after the trigger. \n\nThe XRT began observing the field at 22:32:25.0 UT, 116.5 seconds after\nthe BAT trigger. XRT found a bright, uncatalogued X-ray source located\nat RA, Dec 234.7505, -20.1839 which is equivalent to:\n   RA(J2000)  = +15h 39m 0.12s\n   Dec(J2000) = -20d 11' 02.0\"\nwith an uncertainty of 5.6 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This\nlocation is 31 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT\nerror circle. No event data are yet available to determine the column\ndensity using X-ray spectroscopy. \n\nThe initial flux in the 0.1 s image was 2.53e-08 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.2-10\nkeV). \n\nUVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter\nstarting 126 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate has\nbeen found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 100% of\nthe XRT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 19.6 mag. \nThe 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the\nXRT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No\ncorrection has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of\n0.15. \n\nBurst Advocate for this burst is V. N. Yershov (vny AT mssl.ucl.ac.uk). \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.)",
