  "body": "M.R. Goad, J.P. Osborne, A.P. Beardmore and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) \nreport on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.\n\nUsing 609 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 1 UVOT\nimages for GRB 260120B, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray\nposition (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources\nto the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 284.65977, +61.90497 which is equivalent\nto:\n\nRA (J2000): 18h 58m 38.34s\nDec (J2000): +61d 54' 17.9\"\n\nwith an uncertainty of 2.3 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).\n\nThis position may be improved as more data are received. The latest\nposition can be viewed at https://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions. Position\nenhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) and Evans\net al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).\n\nThis circular was automatically generated, and is an official product of the\nSwift-XRT team.\n"
