TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7034 SUBJECT: GRB 071101: Swift XRT position DATE: 07/11/02 06:21:15 GMT FROM: Claudio Pagani at PSU/Swift-XRT C. Pagani (PSU) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: Swift XRT observed the GRB 071101 (trigger=295779, McBreen et al., GCN Circ. 7030) beginning 85 s after the BAT trigger. In the first 13 ks of Photon Counting mode data a faint X-ray source is detected at the position RA,Dec = 48.1772, +62.5002 deg, equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 03h 12m 42.53s Dec(J2000)= +62d 30' 00.7" with an error of radius 7 arcseconds (90%, including boresight uncertainties). This is 102 arcseconds from the BAT position (GCN Circ. 7030) and 103 arcseconds from the 2MASS-cataloged galaxy, 2MASX J03124721+6231391 reported by Ofek (GCN Circ. 7031). Further analysis will be reported in a subsequent circular.
