J.A. Kennea, D.N. Burrows, D. Grupe and C. Pagani (PSU) report on 
behalf of the 
Swift/XRT team:

We have analysed ground processed data from the burst GRB050915 (BAT 
trigger 155242). We find a bright fading uncatalogued X-ray source at the 
following coordinates:

RA(J2000):   05 26 44.8
Dec(J2000): -28 00 55.8

with an estimated uncertainty of 8 arcseconds (90% containment). This 
position lies 100 arcseconds from the BAT position reported in GCN 3977.
