R. Brivio (INAF-OAB), A. D'Ai (INAF-IASFPA), S. Dichiara (PSU), J.A.
Kennea (PSU), D.N. Burrows (PSU), K.L. Page (U. Leicester), A.P.
Beardmore (U. Leicester), A. Melandri (INAF-OAR) and P.A. Evans (U.
Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:

Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the
Fermi/LAT-detected burst GRB 240905B, collecting 4.7 ks of Photon
Counting (PC) mode data between T0+165.8 ks and T0+184.5 ks. 

Six uncatalogued X-ray sources have been detected, however none of them
is above the RASS limit or shows definitive signs of fading. Therefore,
at the present time we cannot identify which, if any, is the afterglow.
Details of these sources are given below:
