Swift-BAT continues to detect bursts from the Soft Gamma Repeater Swift J1555.2-5402

Including those previously reported (ATel #14690, GCN #30296, GCN #30711, etc.) the catalog of bursts imaged and located by Swift BAT is shown here.

All values are produced by the on-board imaging system and have not been refined on the ground. They should be considered qualitative values for comparison between BAT bursts.

Trigger duration is an indirect, binary-quantized approximation of T90.

Fluence in Crab Seconds (15-50 keV) is extracted from the image made during the trigger interval and has large systematic errors.
