A. Melandri (INAF/OAB) reports on behalf of the Swift team:
Swift-XRT observed the field of GRB 130603A (Melandri et al., GCN
Circ. 14731) starting at T0+49.7 minutes due to an observing
constraint. Using promptly downlinked data we find an uncatalogued X-
ray source located at RA, Dec = 86.8938, 82.9099 which is equivalent to:
RA (J2000.0) = 05 47 34.51
DEC (J2000.0) = +82 54 35.7
with an uncertainty of 3.7 arcsec (radius, 90% containment).
A source is also detected by Swift-UVOT located at RA, Dec = 86.8914,
82.9087 which is equivalent to
RA (J2000.0) = 05 47 33.9
DEC (J2000.0) = +82 54 31.3
with an uncertainty of 0.8 arcsec (radius, 90% containment).
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).
