(INAF-OAB), A. Tohuvavohu (U. Toronto), D.N. Burrows (PSU), J. D. Gropp
(PSU) and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT
team:

Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the
Swift-BAT-detected burst GRB 231110A, collecting 10 ks of Photon
Counting (PC) mode data between T0+8.9 ks and T0+61.1 ks. 

Four uncatalogued X-ray sources are detected consistent with being
within 296 arcsec of the Swift-BAT position, of which one ("Source 2")
is believed to be the afterglow.  The position of this source is RA,
Dec=356.2752, +82.6447 which is equivalent to:

RA (J2000): 23:45:6.05
Dec(J2000): +82:38:40.9

with an uncertainty of 5.1 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).  This
position is 85 arcsec from the Swift-BAT position.  There is evidence
that the source may be fading, however we cannot constrain the decay at
the current time
