J. Racusin, D. Burrows (PSU), N. Gehrels (GSFC) on behalf of the Swift XRT
team:
XRT began observing the field of HETE discovered GRB051022 (Olive et al.,
GCN 4131) at 16:35:54 UT, approximately 3.5 hours after the trigger.
Using 2 orbits of data, we detect a bright uncatalogued fading X-ray
source at the following coordinates:
RA(J2000): 23 56 4.1
Dec(J2000): +19 36 25.1
with an estimated uncertainty of 4 arcseconds (90% containment), including
corrections for the XRT boresight offset. This position is 67 arcseconds
from the HETE position Tanaka et al. (GCN 4137).
