At 09:28:06 the IPN detected GRB 140529A. Swift was slewing at this time. A
mosaic of images from BAT event data shows a very strong detection at
RA, Dec 228.816, -41.044, which is
RA (J2000) 15h 15m 15.8s
Dec (J2000) -41d 02' 39"
with an estimated 90% uncertainty radius of 1.5 arcmin.
The burst consisted of a single FRED peak about 5 seconds long. The maximum
count rate in BAT was about 5000 counts/sec.
A Swift TOO has been requested.
