J.L. Racusin, J.A. Kennea, D.N. Burrows (PSU), T. Roberts, K. Page (U.
Leicester), N. Gehrels (NASA/GSFC), on behalf of the Swift XRT team:
INTEGRAL detected GRB050714 at 00:05:56 UT on July 14th 2005 (GCN Circ
3607). The Swift observatory executed a Target of Opportunity observation
of the INTEGRAL position and the XRT began taking data at 13:46:16 UT,
13.7 hours after the burst. In preliminary ground processing of the data,
we detect an uncatalogued apparently fading X-ray source located at:
RA(J2000) = 02 54 21.9,
Dec(J2000) = +69 06 43
We estimate an uncertainty of 9 arcseconds radius (90% containment).
This position is 52 arcseconds from the INTEGRAL position reported in GCN
3607.
