TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 41136 SUBJECT: GRB 250721A: Swift-XRT observations DATE: 25/07/22 13:46:07 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9@star.le.ac.uk> J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester), K.L. Page (U. Leicester), T. Sbarrato (INAF-OAB), P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), M.G. Bernardini (INAF-OAB), D.N. Burrows (PSU), M.A. Williams (PSU), S. Dichiara (PSU) and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the MAXI-detected burst GRB 250721A in a series of observations tiled on the sky. The total exposure time is 1.4 ks, distributed over 5 tiles; the maximum exposure at a single sky location in the tiling was 569 s. The data were collected between T0+16.2 ks and T0+22.9 ks, and are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. No X-ray sources have been detected. The 3-sigma upper limit in the field (not including the regions where the tiles overlap) ranges from ~0.02 to ~0.05 ct s^-1, corresponding to a 0.3-10 keV observed flux of 6.5e-13 to 2.2e-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (assuming a typical GRB spectrum). The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis of the tiled XRT observations, including a position-specific upper limit calculator, are available at https://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/TILED_GRB00137.
