GRB 210410A: Swift XRT localization
Abstract
Swift BAT triggered on GRB 210410A, previously reported by Fermi/GBM (GCN #29777). Due to a telemetry drop-out, no prompt BAT data are available, however XRT has localized the source. Using promptly downlinked data we find an uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 269.75417, 45.36339 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 17h 59m 01.00s Dec(J2000) = +45d 21' 48.2" with an uncertainty of 6.1 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This position may be improved as more data are received; the latest position is available at https://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. No spectrum from the promptly downlinked event data is yet available to determine the column density. Burst Advocate for this burst is A. Melandri (andrea.melandri AT brera.inaf.it). Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information regarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after trying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see Swift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/)
