Abstract On 2009 January 22nd, Swift-BAT, INTEGRAL-ACS, Fermi-GBM, and other satellites triggered on several short and long bursts from the direction of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar (AXP) 1E1547.0-5408 (GCNs #8833, #8835, #8837, #8838, #8841, #8845, #8848), a transient AXP which showed a few weaker outbursts in the past two years (Gelfand & Gaensler 2007; Halpern et al. 2008; GCN #8312; #8313; #8321) and radio pulsations.
