D. Morris (PSU), C. Pagani (PSU/OAB), M. Capalbi (ASDC), J. Kennea
(PSU), D. Burrows (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift/XRT team:
The Swift XRT began observing GRB 051006 (trigger #158593, Norris et
al., GCN 4061) at 20:32:21 UT, but was unable to obtain an on-board
centroid. Analysis of the initial ground-processed data finds a faint,
fading, and uncataloged source at coordinates:
RA(J2000) = 07 23 13.9
Dec(J2000) = +09 30 22.5
We estimate an uncertainty of 8 arcseconds (90% containment). This
position lies 118 arcseconds from the BAT position reported in GCN 4061.
