TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR
NUMBER: 8010
SUBJECT: GRB 080723B - correction to flux conversion factor
DATE: 08/07/24 08:15:47 GMT
FROM: Kim Page at U.of Leicester <kpa at star.le.ac.uk>
K.L. Page and J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the
Swift-XRT team:
The counts to flux conversion factor in GCN Circ. 8009 was inadvertantly
mistyped. The actual conversion is 5.9x10^-11 erg cm^-2 count^-1 (a factor
of 100 lower than that previously given). This implies that the predicted
flux at 24 hours is 2.4x10^-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1.
We apologise for the mistake and any inconvenience it may have caused.
