TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 19063 SUBJECT: GRB 160223B: Swift-XRT observations DATE: 16/02/23 21:18:36 GMT FROM: Andy Beardmore at U Leicester T.G.R. Roegiers (PSU), L.M. McCauley (PSU), J.A. Kennea (PSU), S.L. Gibson (U. Leicester), J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester), K.L. Page (U. Leicester), P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), V. D'Elia (ASDC), A. D'Ai (INAF-IASFPA) and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the INTEGRAL-detected burst GRB 160223B (Gotz et al. GCN Circ. 19059), collecting 2.3 ks of Photon Counting (PC) mode data between T0+10.6 ks and T0+16.4 ks. No X-ray sources have been detected inside or close to the INTEGRAL error region. The 3-sigma upper limit in the field ranges from ~0.004 to ~0.005 ct s^-1, corresponding to a 0.3-10 keV observed flux of 1.8e-13 to 1.9e-13 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (assuming a typical GRB spectrum). The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis of the XRT observations, including a position-specific upper limit calculator, are available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/ToO_GRBs/00020601. This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.
