Swift Observations of GRB 220617A

K.L. Page (U. Leicester) for the Swift team

1. Introduction

Lalla et al. (GCN Circ. 32212) reported the GRB detection. Table 1 contains the best reported positions from Swift.

Table 2 is a summary of GCN Circulars about this GRB from observatories other than Swift.

2. BAT Observations and Analysis

BAT did not observe this burst.

3. XRT Observations and Analysis

Analysis of the initial XRT data was reported by Page et al. (GCN Circ. 32215). Five uncatalogued X-ray sources have been detected, however none of them is above the RASS limit or shows definitive signs of fading.

4. UVOT Observations and Analysis

UVOT results are not available.

Figure 1. The BAT light curve is not available.
