Siegel (PSU) and T. N. Ukwatta (MSU) report on behalf of the\nSwift Team:\n\nAt 04:20:05 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and\nlocated GRB 121202A (trigger=540255).  Swift did not slew because\nof the Earth limb observing constraint. \nThe BAT on-board calculated location is \nRA, Dec 256.815, +23.952, which is \n   RA(J2000)  =  17h 07m 16s\n   Dec(J2000) = +23d 57' 07\"\nwith an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including \nsystematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve shows muliple peaks\nwith a total duration of about 40 sec.  The peak count rate\nwas ~1300 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~13 sec after the trigger. \n\nDue to an observing constraint, Swift will not slew until T0+44.1\nminutes. There will be no XRT or UVOT data until this time. \n\nBurst Advocate for this burst is S. R. Oates (sro 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.)",
