Quick-Look-Analysis of the XMM-Newton observation of the
GRB040827 field based on 3ks exposures in the EPIC pn camera,
shows the presence of a source within the error circle.

XMMU J151701.3-160828 (J2000):
R.A. = 15h 17m 01.3s  Decl. = -16deg 08' 28''

At this stage of reduction the position error is expected to
be less than 10''.
