P. Schady (MSSL/UCL) and S. T. Holland (CRESST/USRA/GSFC) report on
behalf of the Swift UVOT team:
There was a typo in the position for the optical afterglow candidate
for GRB 080307 reported by Holland et al., (GCN 7362), and this should,
in fact, be
RA(J2000.0) = 09:06:25.5
Dec(J2000.0) = +35:08:29
with an estimated uncertainty of 1 arcsec. However, we note that the
new UVOT position is 0.2" from a known source, and is therefore
unlikely to be the optical afterglow of GRB 080307.
