report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:
A second epoch of XRT data was collected on the field of the Swift
Trigger 657564 / GRB 151004A (Cenko et al., GCN Circ. 18389) on 2015
October 15. The observations consist of 7.7 ks of PC mode data, from
T0+885 ks to T0+932 ks.
The candidate X-ray source reported in Barthelmy et al., GCN Circ.
18396, originally detected at a count rate of 4.8 (+/- 1.14) x 10^-3
cnts/sec (0.3-10 keV) is not detected in this second epoch of
observations, with a 3 sigma upper limit of 1.5 x 10^-3 cnts/sec (0.3-10
keV). The fading confirms that this is the X-ray afterglow of the Swift
Trigger 657564 / GRB 151004A.
This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.
