![]() TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 11000 SUBJECT: GRB 100727A: Enhanced Swift-XRT position DATE: 10/07/27 12:49:07 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9@star.le.ac.uk> J. P. Osborne, A. P. Beardmore, P. A. Evans, and M. R. Goad (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team. Using 4198 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 8 UVOT
images for GRB 100727A, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray
position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources
to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 154.17739, -21.39042 which is equivalent
to:
RA (J2000): 10h 16m 42.57s
Dec (J2000): -21d 23' 25.5"
with an uncertainty of 1.6 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).
This position may be improved as more data are received. The latest
position can be viewed at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions. Position
enhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) and Evans
et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).
