Ukwatta (GSFC/GWU), L. Vetere (PSU) and H. Ziaeepour (UCL-MSSL)\nreport on behalf of the Swift Team:\n\nAt 10:13:37 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and\nlocated GRB 080701 (trigger=315615).  Swift did not immediately slew\ndue to an Earth limb constraint.  The BAT on-board calculated location is \nRA, Dec 45.837, +75.492 which is \n   RA(J2000) = 03h 03m 21s\n   Dec(J2000) = +75d 29' 30\"\nwith an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including \nsystematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a smooth peak\nstructure with a duration of ~15 sec.  The peak count rate\nwas ~2500 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger. \n\nSwift was unable to slew to the source due to due to Earth limb\nconstraints. X-ray telescope and UV/optical telescope observations of\nthis region will become possible at T+50 minutes. \n\nBurst Advocate for this burst is M. C. Stroh (stroh AT astroh.org). \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.)",
