The Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered on a new outburst from the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient (SFXT) IGR J08408-4503 on 2010 March 28 at 15:53:38 UT (image trigger=417420). Swift did not execute an immediate slew, because of an Earth-limb constraint. Using the BAT data from T-220 to T+280 s, the emission starts at ~T-120 and ends at ~T+120 s. The peak emission occurs at ~T+10 s at about 0.09 counts/cm2/s.
