TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 12115 SUBJECT: GRB 110708A: Swift/XRT afterglow candidate for the INTEGRAL burst DATE: 11/07/08 23:20:47 GMT FROM: Valerio D'Elia at ASDC V. D'Elia, G. Stratta (ASDC) and J. Cannizzo (GSFC) report, on behalf of the Swift team: Swift XRT began a 5ks target of opportunity observation of the field of INTEGRAL burst GRB 110708A (Gotz et al., GCN circ 12112) on 14:25:40 UT, 34.9 ks after the burst trigger. In the first 4.6 ks of data, we detect a source, located at RA, Dec 340.11178, 53.96182 which is equivalent to:   RA(J2000)  = 22h 40m 26.82s   Dec(J2000) = +53d 57' 42.5" with an uncertainty of 5.7 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 21 arcseconds from the INTEGRAL reported position, within the INTEGRAL error box. The source count rate is 4.7E-03+/-1.2E-03 cts/s. At the present stage, we cannot assess if the source is fading. This circular is an official product of the Swift Team. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
