  "body": "P. Romano (INAF-IASFPA) report on behalf of the Swift Team:\n\nAt 09:52:43 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and\nlocated the SFXT IGR J16479-4514 (trigger=599041).  Due to higher\npriority follow-up of GRB 140515A, Swift did not slew to this object. \nThe BAT on-board calculated location is \nRA, Dec 252.039, -45.200 which is \n   RA(J2000) = 16h 48m 09s\n   Dec(J2000) = -45d 12' 00\"\nwith an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including \nsystematic uncertainty).  As is usual for imaging triggers,\nthis event is not obvious in the on-board BAT light curve. \n\nPreviously, Swift observed flares from this Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient on \n2005 August 30 (Sidoli et al. 2008, ApJ, 687, 1230),   \n2006 May 20 (Markwardt & Krimm 2006, ATel #816),  \n2006 June 24, \n2007 July 29, \n2008 March 19 (Romano et al. 2008, ApJ, 680, L137), \n2008 May 21, \nand 2009 January 29 (Romano et al. 2009, MNRAS, 399, 2021). \nThe historical light curve from the BAT hard X-ray transient monitor \n(Krimm et al, 2013, ApJS, 209, 14; 15-50 keV) can be found at \nhttp://swift.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/swift/results/transients/weak/IGRJ16479-4514/",
