Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: Using promptly downlinked XRT event data for GRB 161001A, we find an enhanced XRT position of the afterglow: RA, Dec: 71.9194, -57.2604 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000) = 04 47 40.66 Dec (J2000) = -57 15 37.3 with an uncertainty of 2.0 arcseconds (radius, 90% confidence). Analysis of the promptly available data is online at http://www.swift.ac.uk/sper/714404. Position enhancement is is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) and Evans et al.
