TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 39723 SUBJECT: GRB 250313A: Swift-XRT observations DATE: 25/03/14 23:06:25 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester pae9@star.le.ac.uk
M. A. Williams (PSU), J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester), K.L. Page (U. Leicester), A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester), A. Melandri (INAF-OAR), T. Sbarrato (INAF-OAB), P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), S. Dichiara (PSU), J.A. Kennea (PSU) and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:
Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the Fermi/LAT-detected burst GRB 250313A, collecting 6.3 ks of Photon Counting (PC) mode data between T0+30.7 ks and T0+82.7 ks.
Seven uncatalogued X-ray sources have been detected, however none of them is above the RASS limit or shows definitive signs of fading. Therefore, at the present time we cannot identify which, if any, is the afterglow. Details of these sources are given below:
