TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 11679 SUBJECT: GRB 110208A: Swift-XRT refined Analysis DATE: 11/02/09 14:42:48 GMT FROM: Valerio D'Elia at ASDC V. D'Elia (ASDC) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 20 ks of XRT data for GRB 110208A (D'Elia et al. GCN Circ. 11674), from 64 s to 47.3 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 55 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode (the first 9 s were taken while Swift was slewing) with the remainder in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position for this burst was given by Evans et al. (GCN. Circ 11678). The late-time light curve (from T0+4.3 ks) can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=1.21 (+0.20, -0.18). A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.27 (+/-0.25). The best-fitting absorption column is 1.1 (+0.4, -0.6) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 2.3 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Kalberla et al. 2005). The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 3.3 x 10^-11 (4.7 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 1.1 (+0.4, -0.6) x 10^21 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 2.3 x 10^20 cm^-2 Excess significance: 3.2 sigma Photon index: 2.27 (+/-0.25) The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis are available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/00445038.
