J. R. Cummings, K. L. Page (U Leicester) on behalf of the Swift science team:
We note the presence of a low-redshift galaxy in DSS, SDSS, 2MASS (SIMBAD) whose
center is 98 arcseconds from the center of the Swift-XRT refined position error
circle (Osborne, GCN Circ. # 16697), MCG+10-12-141 at z ~ 0.018368. The angular
size of the galaxy is about 0.8 arcmin.
