The Swift spacecraft executed a prompt slew to GRB050331 (discovered by the
Swift BAT). The XRT found a bright source located at the following position:
RA(J2000) = 09:22:57,
Dec(J2000) = -41:26:18
We estimate an uncertainty of about 6 arcseconds. This source is located
1.5 arcminutes from the BAT position.
