TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 32608 SUBJECT: GRB 220930A: Enhanced Swift-XRT position DATE: 22/09/30 15:35:59 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester pae9@leicester.ac.uk
P.A. Evans, M.R. Goad, J.P. Osborne and A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.
Using 892 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 1 UVOT images for GRB 220930A, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 64.71717, +13.34902 which is equivalent to:
RA (J2000): 04h 18m 52.12s Dec (J2000): +13d 20' 56.5"
with an uncertainty of 2.2 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).
This position may be improved as more data are received. The latest position can be viewed at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions. Position enhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) and Evans et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).
