Palmer (LANL) report\non behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team:\n\nAt 02:02:22 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and\nlocated GRB 240805A (trigger=1246907).  Swift slewed immediately to\nthe burst but the observations was cut short almost immediately\nafter the end of slew due to an observing constraint. \nThe BAT on-board calculated location is \nRA, Dec 190.911, -53.622 which is \n   RA(J2000) = +12h 43m 39s\n   Dec(J2000) = -53d 37' 17\"\nwith an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including \nsystematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve is not immediately\navailable.  However, the original BAT trigger shows an excess\nof 3.3k counts in 1.024 s (25-100 keV) at the time of the trigger. \n\nThe XRT and UVOT observations were only a few seconds long, so\nX-ray and optical positions and lightcurves will not be\navailable until the GRB comes out of constraint around 02:58 UT. \n\nBurst Advocate for this burst is S. Dichiara (sbd5667 AT psu.edu). \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/)\n\n",
