Palmer (LANL) report on behalf of the Swift Team:\n\nAt 10:13:39 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and\nlocated GRB 160117A (trigger=670793).  Swift could not slew to the \nburst location due to an observing constraint. \nThe BAT on-board calculated location is \nRA, Dec 20.408, -0.627 which is \n   RA(J2000) = 01h 21m 38s\n   Dec(J2000) = -00d 37' 37\"\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 30 sec.  The peak count rate\nwas ~1300 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~6 sec after the trigger. \n\nDue to a Moon observing constraint, Swift cannot slew to the BAT\nposition until 00:56 UT on 2016 January 18. There will thus be no XRT\nor UVOT data for this trigger before this time. \n\nBurst Advocate for this burst is C. B. Markwardt (Craig.Markwardt AT nasa.gov). \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.)",
