Swift-XRT light curves of GRB 251016A - source 1

Last updated at 2025-10-17 at 12:59:45 UTC

The source position (in the XRT co-ordinate frame) used for these products was: RA (J2000.0) = 266.3024 degrees, Dec (J2000.0) =-39.5606 degrees.

From 2016 March, the light curve plots support interactive zooming and exploring. See the jsPlot documentation for details.

3 snapshots of PC data are unreliable because no centroid could be determined. 2 bins are affected and have been hidden [Why does this matter?]. List affected times/bins.

Energy light curves

Flux Light Curve

For this burst, 1 count = 6.4445386541519 x 10^-11 erg cm^-2 (observed flux) (, from the automatic spectral fit).

Note that this is an time-averaged conversion factor: the true value may evolve with time.
