From
Vanessa Mangano at INAF-IASFPA <vanessa@ifc.inaf.it>
V. Mangano, T. Mineo (INAF-IASFPA), J. Kennea, D. Burrows (PSU) and
V. La Parola (INAF-IASFPA) on behalf of the Swift XRT Team

Swift observed the field of the HETE II transient H4043
(Fenimore et al. 2006, GCN 4938) on 2006 March 31
for three consecutive orbits starting at 16:53 UT.
About 65% of the HETE error box was covered in two
different pointings with 1500 and 500 s exposure, respectively.
No point source was detected up to limiting fluxes of about
5.e-13 and 1.3.e-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1, respectively.

This circular is an official product of the Swift XRT Team.
