The AMON group reports:
We requested follow-up time for the AMON alert NuEM230927A (GCN 34776).
The follow-up looks for any x-ray source inside the 90% region of the AMON
alert:
RA (J2000): 331.92 deg
Dec (J2000): 12.44 deg
Location uncertainty (90% containment): 0.24 deg (statistical only).
We used the available software in www.swift.ac.uk
Swift-XRT started the follow up on 2023-09-28 08:08:01 and ended
on 2023-09-28 11:32:27.
It collected 3735 sec of photon counting (PC) mode data.
One uncatalogued X-ray source has been detected:
Source :
RA (J2000.0): 331.877 = 22:07:30.50
Dec (J2000.0): 12.357 = +12:21:24
Error: 4.9 arcsec (radius, 90% conf.)
Count-rate: (3.7 (+2.1, -1.7))e-3 ct s^-1
The results can be found in:

Source detection is based on Evans, et al. 2020 ApJ Supplemental, 247
AMON seeks to perform a real-time correlation analysis of the
high-energy signals across all known astronomical messengers. More
