COMMENTS: SWIFT-BAT GRB Coordinates.
COMMENTS: This is a rate trigger.
COMMENTS: A point_source was found.
COMMENTS: This matches a source in the on-board catalog.
COMMENTS: This matches a source in the ground catalog: PKS 0528+134, delta=0.181 [deg].
COMMENTS: This is not a GRB.
COMMENTS: This is an interesting source.
COMMENTS: Since the IMAGE_SIGNIF is less than 7 sigma, this is a questionable detection.
COMMENTS: This is a RETRACTION of a previous notice that identified this as a GRB -- it is NOT a GRB.
COMMENTS: This Notice was ground-reprocessed from flight-data.
COMMENTS:
COMMENTS: This is not a GRB.
COMMENTS: We believe this to be a cosmic ray shower event.
COMMENTS: All the counts are in the high energy band and the trigger duration is short.
COMMENTS: And the image significance is very low.
COMMENTS: The location with the pulsar is believed to be a coincidence.
