GRB 200215A: Enhanced Swift-XRT position
Abstract
Using 3846 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 3 UVOT images for GRB 200215A, 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 = 34.07940, +12.77079 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 02h 16m 19.06s Dec (J2000): +12d 46' 14.9" with an uncertainty of 1.5 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 Swift-XRT Team.
