A new outburst from the transient IGR J16479-4514 was caught by Swift satellite: the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered twice on March 19, first at 22:44:45 UT (Swift trigger 306829, Barthelmy et al. 2008, GCN 7466) and then again on a stronger peak at 22:59:57 UT (trigger 306930). Swift immediately slewed to the target, so that the NFI onboard Swift started observing it about 115s after each trigger.
