Swift/XRT observations of GRB 221017A
Abstract
The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered on a bright uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 2022-10-17T05:39:31 UT (GCN #32777). The inferred location of the transient from MAXI/GSC observations was RA/Dec(J2000) = (116.859, 39.409) = (07:47:26, +39:24:32) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.45 deg and 0.4 deg, respectively (GCN #32777).
