Swift Observations of GRB 150608A

M.G. Bernardini (INAF-OAB) for the Swift team

1. Introduction

Arimoto et al. (GCN Circ. 17912) reported the GRB detection. The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered a bright uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 11:46:50 UT. Table 1 contains the best reported positions from Swift.

Table 2 is a summary of GCN Circulars about this GRB from observatories other than Swift.
