Swift XRT team:
We report refined XRT source positions for GRB 050315 (GCN3094, GCN3097),
GRB 050318 (GCN3111, GCN3113), and GRB 050319 (GCN3117), based on improved
ground-based analysis of extended data sets from these three bursts. We
find the following afterglow positions:
GRB 050315: RA(J2000) = 20:25:53.9, Dec(J2000) = -42:36:01.4 (P. Romano),
which is 2.3" from the optical counterpart (GCN3100).
GRB 050318: RA(J2000) = 03:18:51.1, Dec(J2000) = -46:23:44.7 (V. Mangano),
which is 1.1" from the optical counterpart (GCN3123).
GRB 050319: RA(J2000) = 10:16:48.1, Dec(J2000) = +43:32:52.3 (K. Page),
which is 3.1" from the optical counterpart (GCN3116).
