Alfonso \n(CSIC Madrid), J.A.

GCN 5933) and we\ndetect an object in the refined error box of XRT (Evans et al GCN\n5932) at the following coordinates (J2000) with an uncertainty\nof 0.5\":\n\nR.A.: 10:41:39.06\nDec.: -21:07:28.7\n\nThis object seems to be stable in subsequent images obtained\nfrom the 2.5m INT (+WFC) on 18.24 UT Dec 2006. This supports\nthe identification of the host galaxy candidate reported by  Berger\net al.
