TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42326 SUBJECT: GRB 251017A: Enhanced Swift-XRT position DATE: 25/10/17 12:54:56 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9@star.le.ac.uk> M.R. Goad, J.P. Osborne, A.P. Beardmore and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team. Using 1230 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 2 UVOT images for GRB 251017A, 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 = 335.40133, +7.04008 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 22h 21m 36.32s Dec (J2000): +07d 02' 24.3" with an uncertainty of 2.1 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). This position may be improved as more data are received. The latest position can be viewed at https://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.
