J. A. Kennea, D. N. Burrows (PSU), K. Page, C. P. Hurkett (U.
Leicester), B. Zhang (UNLV) and N. Gehrels (NASA/GSFC) report on behalf of
the Swift XRT team:
INTEGRAL detected GRB050504 at 08:00:52 UT on 4th May 2005 (GCN Circ
3348). The Swift observatory executed an Target of Opportunity observation
of the INTEGRAL position and the XRT began taking data at 13:27:40 UT.
In ground processing of 9218s of Photon Counting mode data we detect a
faint uncataloged X-ray source located at:
RA(J2000) = 13:24:01.3,
Dec(J2000) = +40:42:12
We estimate an uncertainty of 6.9 arcseconds radius (90% containment).
This position is 35 arcseconds from the INTEGRAL position reported in GCN
3348.
