N. Ukwatta (GSFC/GWU) report on behalf of\nthe Swift Team:\n\nAt 14:44:47 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and\nlocated GRB 080916B (trigger=324907).  The BAT on-board calculated location is \nRA, Dec 163.624, +69.044 which is \n   RA(J2000) = 10h 54m 30s\n   Dec(J2000) = +69d 02' 39\"\nwith an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including \nsystematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a multi-peaked\nstructure with a duration of about 50 sec.  The peak count rate\nwas ~750 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. \n\nDue to an observing constraint, Swift will not slew until \nT0+18.9 minutes. There will be no XRT or UVOT data until\nthis time. \n\nBurst Advocate for this burst is G. Stratta (giulia.stratta AT asdc.asi.it). \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.)",
