TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7993 SUBJECT: GRB 080721: Enhanced Swift-XRT position DATE: 08/07/21 16:20:26 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester J.P. Osborne, A.P. Beardmore, P.A. Evans and M.R. Goad (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team. Using 2722 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 6 UVOT images for GRB 080721, 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 = 224.48231, -11.72363 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 14h 57m 55.75s Dec (J2000): -11d 43' 25.1" 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 http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions/Goad.pdf), the current algorithm is an extension of this method. This circular was automatically generated, and is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.
