J. Racusin (PSU), D. Grupe (PSU), S. Hunsberger (PSU), and N. Gehrels 
(NASA/GSFC) report on behalf of the Swift XRT team:

Swift/XRT began a target of opportunity observation of the INTEGRAL 
detected GRB 060901 (Mereghetti et al., GCN Circ. 5491) at 22:30 UT 
September 1 2006 (~3.8 hours after the burst). We have analyzed the first 
3 orbits of XRT data and we find a previously uncatalogued source at the 
following coordinates:

RA(J2000): 19:08:37.98
Dec(J2000): -6:38:07.84

with an estimated uncertainty of 4.9 arcseconds radius (90% containment). 
This position is 14.8 arcseconds from the INTEGRAL position given in GCN 
Circ. 5491. Further observations and analysis are in progress.
