SUBJECT: GRB 251003A: Prompt enhanced Swift-XRT position
DATE:    25/10/03 02:22:53 GMT
FROM:    Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9@star.le.ac.uk>

P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:

Using 263 s of promptly downlinked XRT event data for GRB 251003A, we
find an enhanced XRT position of the afterglow: RA, Dec: 18.52838,
56.49082 which is equivalent to:
   RA (J2000)  = 01 14 06.81
   Dec (J2000) = +56 29 26.9
with an uncertainty of 2.3 arcseconds (radius, 90% confidence).
Analysis of the promptly available data is online at
http://www.swift.ac.uk/sper/1400964.

Position enhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401)
and Evans et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).
