GCN Circular 14360

Subject
GRB 130407A Tiled Swift observations
Date
2013-04-08T16:07:35Z (13 years ago)
From
Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9@leicester.ac.uk>
P. A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift team:

Swift has initiated a series of observations, tiled on the sky, of the
MAXI GRB 130407A. Automated analysis of the XRT data will
be presented online at
http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/TILED_GRB00014

Any uncatalogued X-ray sources detected in this analysis will be
reported on this website. The probability of finding serendipitous 
sources, unrelated to the MAXI event is high: any X-ray source
considered to be a probable afterglow candidate will be reported via a
GCN Circular after manual consideration.

Details of the XRT automated analysis methods are detailed in Evans et
al. (2007, A&A, 469, 379; and 2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).

This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.
