TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 5729 SUBJECT: GRB061019: Swift/XRT position DATE: 06/10/19 06:15:52 GMT FROM: Cristiano Guidorzi at INAF-OAB C. Guidorzi, P. Romano (Univ Bicocca&INAF-OAB) report on behalf of the Swift/XRT team: The Swift XRT began observing GRB 061019 (trigger #234516, Guidorzi et al., GCN Circ. 5728) at 05:05:46.60 UT, 46.7 minutes after the BAT trigger. Analysis of the initial TDRSS downliked data reveals a faint and uncataloged source at the following coordinates: RA(J2000) = 06h06m31.05s Dec(J2000) = +29:34:10.17 with an estimated uncertainty of 8.2 arcseconds (90% containment). This position lies 41 arcseconds from the center of the BAT error circle reported in GCN Circ 5728. Due to the small number of counts, we are unable to determine whether the source is decaying at this time. However, observations are being performed and will become available after the Malindi gap (which ends at 07:21 UT). This circular is an official product of the Swift XRT Team.
