Palmer (LANL) report on behalf of the Swift Team:\n\nAt 02:53:09 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and\nlocated SGR 1900+14 (trigger=203127).  Swift was already following up\nthis source when this new outburst occurred.  The BAT on-board \ncalculated location is RA,Dec 286.804, +9.330 {19h 07m 13s, +09d 19' 48\"}\n(J2000) with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including \nsystematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve has multiple peaks. \nThere are at least 8 peaks in the first 25 sec.  There are about 4 more\nsmaller peaks in the next 10 sec, and a peak at T+135 sec.  The\npeak count rate was ~350,000 counts/sec (15-100 keV), at ~21 sec after\nthe trigger.  We note this is ~3 times brighter than the single-peak\noutburst detected on the previous orbit.",
