Burrows, Jamie Kennea (PSU), report on behalf of \nthe Swift XRT team:\n\nFollowing the Malindi gap, we have analyzed the initial Swift XRT data\nfrom GRB 060418 (Falcone et al., GCN4966), with a total exposure of 1.4 \n   ks.  The refined XRT position is:\n\nRA(J2000) = 15 45 42.4\nDec(J2000) = -03 38 22.8\n\nWe estimate an uncertainty of 4 arcseconds radius (90% containment).\n\nIn addition to the afterglow decay, the early light curve has bright\nflaring.  The largest flare has a peak of about 460 c/s at approximately \n128 s after the trigger time.  Aside from the flaring, the light curve \nis clearly fading, but the rate is difficult to estimate due to the \nflaring and the limited data available at this time.  A preliminary \nestimate of the power law decay index is approximately 0.6 � 0.3.\n\nThis Circular is an official product of the Swift XRT Team.",
