TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 16600 SUBJECT: GRB 140716A: Swift-XRT detection of an afterglow candidate DATE: 14/07/17 06:26:30 GMT FROM: Kim Page at U.of Leicester K.L. Page (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 3.4 ks of XRT data for the Swift/BAT ground-detected burst: GRB 140716A (Cummings, GCN Circ 16596; Cummings et al., GCN Circ. 16598), from 34.1 to 56.8 ks after the first of the ground-detected BAT triggers. This burst was also detected by Fermi-GBM (Jenke & Yu, GCN Circ. 16599). The data are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. We detect an uncatalogued X-ray source with a mean count rate of 0.024 (+/- 0.003) count s^-1, at a position of RA, Dec = 108.1731, -60.1757, which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 07h 12m 41.53s Dec (J2000): -60d 10' 32.7" with an uncertainty of 4.7" (radius, 90% confidence). This is 1.95' from the BAT position, a little outside the 1.5' 90% BAT error circle. We cannot determine at the present time whether the source is fading. This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.
