P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) and J.A. Kennea (PSU) report,

Swift-XRT carried out 13 observations of the region of IceCube-230707A (Lincetto et al., GCN Circ 34163), from 59 ks to 78 ks after the neutrino trigger; the typical exposure time was 300 s per field.

We detected three uncatalogued X-ray objects, however all of these are classified as “poor” by the source detection algorithm (Evans et al., 2020) and are thus likely spurious. The typical 3-sigma upper limit is 0.05 ct/sec (0.3-10 keV) corresponding to ~2.1 x 10^-12 erg/cm^2/s.
