TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 5947 SUBJECT: GRB 061217 - Swift/XRT position correction DATE: 06/12/21 15:57:57 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester P.A. Evans, K.L. Page (U. Leicester) and J.A. Kennea (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift/XRT team: The XRT position of GRB 061217 reported in GCN Circ. 5932 was incorrect due to analysis of the early XRT data being compromised by the faintness of the source and its proximity to the hot columns. Having reprocessed the complete set of XRT observations of GRB 061217, we find the corrected position to be: RA (J2000) : 10 41 39.10 Dec (J2000): -21 07 26.9 with an uncertainty of 6.0" (90% confidence).
