report on behalf of the Swift XRT team:
Ground processing of Photon Counting mode data from 3 epochs (roughly 3600
- 10,000 s post-burst) gives the following refined Swift XRT afterglow
position for GRB 050219b:
RA(J2000) = 05:25:15.3
Dec(J2000) = -57:45:09.2
The estimated uncertainty in this position is 6.3 arcseconds.
