TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  3724
SUBJECT: GRB050701: GCN XRT position is incorrect
DATE:    05/08/01 18:50:03 GMT
FROM:    Jamie A. Kennea at PSU/Swift-XRT  <kennea at astro.psu.edu>

J.A. Kennea and D.N. Burrows (PSU)

The XRT position sent through GCN for GRB050701 is not correct due to the 
XRT centroiding on a artifact in the CCD, and not the afterglow. The 
current best position for this from Swift is the BAT position.
