J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester) for the Swift team

1. Introduction

Sato et al. (GCN Circ. 25262) reported the GRB detection. The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered on an uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 07:58:15 UT on 2019 August 04. 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.
