SUBJECT: GRB 251230A: Enhanced Swift-XRT position

FROM:    Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9@star.le.ac.uk>

J.P. Osborne, A.P. Beardmore, P.A. Evans and M.R. Goad (U. Leicester) 
report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.

Using 1379 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 1 UVOT
images for GRB 251230A, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray
position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources
to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 179.89737, +11.43831 which is equivalent
to:

RA (J2000): 11h 59m 35.37s
Dec (J2000): +11d 26' 17.9"

with an uncertainty of 2.2 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).

This position may be improved as more data are received. The latest
position can be viewed at https://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions. Position
enhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) and Evans
et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).
