TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 38604 SUBJECT: GRB 241218A: Enhanced Swift-XRT position DATE: 24/12/18 03:21:43 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9@star.le.ac.uk> A.P. Beardmore, P.A. Evans, M.R. Goad and J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team. Using 1225 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 2 UVOT images for GRB 241218A, 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 = 185.68168, +29.97318 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 12h 22m 43.60s Dec (J2000): +29d 58' 23.5" with an uncertainty of 2.4 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). This circular was automatically generated, and is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.
