NUMBER: 12944
SUBJECT: GRB 120213A: Prompt enhanced Swift-XRT position

P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:
Using promptly downlinked XRT event data for GRB 120213A, we find an
enhanced XRT position of the afterglow: RA, Dec: 301.0128, 65.4110
which is equivalent to:
RA (J2000) = 20 04 03.07
Dec (J2000) = +65 24 39.6
with an uncertainty of 2.1 arcseconds (radius, 90% confidence).
Analysis of the promptly available data is online at
http://www.swift.ac.uk/sper/514767.
Position enhancement is is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476,
1401) and Evans et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).
This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.
