We have analysed 13 ks of XRT data for GRB 120612A (Pagani et al. GCN 13357), from 144 s to 30.4 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 91 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode with the remainder in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position for this burst was given by Evans et al. (GCN. Circ 13359). The light curve can be modelled with an initial power-law decay with an index of alpha=3...Full Text

We have analysed 9.9 ks of XRT data for GRB 120312A (Stamatikos et al. GCN 13049), from 112 s to 19.6 ks after the BAT trigger. The data are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode.

At 03:28:08 UT 03 Nov 2011, Swift-BAT triggered as a result of the star tracker having lost lock. This trigger is not due to a GRB or anything astrophysical. Only one GCN Notice type (the Quick_Look type that goes to robotic telescopes) was distributed to the world. All the rest of the notice types were automatically blocked-to-world for Image triggers that occur during a period of star tracker...Full Text

At 13:40:41 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) re-triggered on what we are tentatively calling GRB 110328A (trigger=450161). The BAT on-board calculated location is consistent with the coordinates reported for GRB 110328A (GCN 11823; Cummings et al). Both this trigger and the earlier trigger (450158) were image triggers, so the light curves do not show any significant features. The current...Full Text
