COMMENTS: This Notice indicates the start/onset of the outburst. COMMENTS: This is an outburst from a previously known source. COMMENTS: This Notice was ground-processed from flight-data. COMMENTS: The position is inside the galaxy (null) (of total mag=0.00 and dia=0.00 arcmin). COMMENTS: There is a 0.03% probability that this would happen by chance coincidence. COMMENTS: Source types: Known = Catalog source or source previously announced by Swift. COMMENTS: Unknown = Previously undetected possible new source. COMMENTS: Provisional = Unannounced Swift/BAT source previously detected in BAT monitor.
