Information on resource 'GCN VOEvent Streams From Swift-XRT'

VOEvent alerts produced from transient detections resulting from observations with the NASA Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and the X-ray Telescope. Events should be reported within tens to of seconds to hours; expect about 3 events per week, where most events correspond to either gamma ray burst, or other transient. There are Streams giving localizations for gamma ray transients with follow-up characterization in X-ray including several localization techniques, temporal and spectral data products including ground-processed data. The notice types include onboard centroid position (SWIFT_XRT_CENTROID) derived from an initial image (SWIFT_XRT_IMAGE, SWIFT_XRT_IMAGE_PROC), threshhold pixels (SWIFT_XRT_THRESHPIX, SWIFT_XRT_THRESHPIX_PROC), single pixel event report (SWIFT_XRT_SPER, SWIFT_XRT_SPER_PROC), updated localizations (SWIFT_XRT_POSITION), the lightcurve (SWIFT_XRT_LC), and the spectrum (SWIFT_XRT_SPECTRUM,SWIFT_XRT_SPECTRUM_PROC).
