Rapid follow-up ROSAT observation of GRB 940301

The strong gamma-ray burst of March 1, 1994 was imaged by COMPTEL and found to have an identical location within the errors as a burst which occurred on July 4, 1993. This location coincidence had prompted speculations on a possible single source for both bursts. We have performed a ROSAT PSPC mosaic observation within four weeks of GRB 940301. The results of these observations and the comparison of the intensities of the detected sources with those detected during the ROSAT all-sky-survey in September 1990 will be presented. We conclude that a quiescent luminous X-ray source similar to the Soft Gamma Repeaters SGR 1806 20 and SGR 0525 66 is very unlikely.
