RA (J2000): 07:41:8.62 Dec(J2000): -45:25:15.1with an uncertainty of 3.7 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). This position is 3.4 arcmin from the Fermi/LAT position. The light curve is consistent with a constant source of mean count rate 1.2e-01 ct/sec. A power-law fit gives an index of -1.41 (+4.59, -0.05).
Total column: 3.5 (+/-1.3) x 10^21 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 3.5 x 10^21 cm^-2 Excess significance: <1.6 sigma Photon index: 1.71 (+0.29, -0.21)The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis of the likely afterglow are at http://www.swift.ac.uk/ToO_GRBs/00020520/index_1.php. The results of the full analysis of the XRT observations are available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/ToO_GRBs/00020520.
RA(J2000) = 07:41:08.68 Dec(J2000)= -45:25:12.3with an uncertainty of ~1" and a magnitude of R=20.2 +-0.1 calibrated against nearby USNOB-1 stars. Presently we cannot establish whether the source is fading.

Magnitudes are calibrated against USNOB-1 nearby stars. We therefore confirm the afterglow nature of the optical candidate previously reported.
RA (J2000) = 07:41:08.67 = 115.28613 (deg.) Dec (J2000) = -45:25:12.4 = -45.42011 (deg.)with an estimated uncertainty of 0.78 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).
