TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42382 SUBJECT: GRB 251022A: Tiled Swift observations DATE: 25/10/23 05:56:57 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester pae9@star.le.ac.uk
P. A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift team:
Swift has initiated a series of observations, tiled on the sky, of the Fermi/LAT GRB 251022A. Automated analysis of the XRT data will be presented online at https://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/TILED_GRB00139
Any uncatalogued X-ray sources detected in this analysis will be reported on this website and via GCN COUNTERPART notices. The probability of finding serendipitous sources, unrelated to the Fermi/LAT event is high: any X-ray source considered to be a probable afterglow candidate will be reported via a GCN Circular after manual consideration.
Details of the XRT automated analysis methods are detailed in Evans et al. (2007, A&A, 469, 379; 2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177 and 2014, ApJS, 210, 8).
This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.
