TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 13466 SUBJECT: GRB 120714A: Swift-XRT observations DATE: 12/07/14 09:44:51 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester D.N. Burrows (PSU), J.A. Kennea (PSU), S. Campana (INAF-OAB), G. Cusumano (INAF-IASF PA), P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) and J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: The XRT began observing the field of GRB 120714A at 08:41:02.2 UT, 3255.5 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find an uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 167.98413, -30.62769 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 11h 11m 56.19s Dec(J2000) = -30d 37' 39.7" with an uncertainty of 4.2 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 46 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT error circle. This position may be improved as more data are received; the latest position is available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. We cannot determine whether the source is fading at the present time. A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event data gives a column density consistent with the Galactic value of 6.09 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Kalberla et al. 2005).
