Following the detection by the Fermi/LAT (ATel #3276) of an enhanced gamma-ray emission from a source positionally consistent with the Crab Nebula, a ToO Swift/XRT observation was requested. We obtained 1.8 ks XRT observation of the Crab Nebula in windowed timing (WT) mode starting at 2011-04-12 18:39:29 UT. In this observation the peak emission of the Crab Nebula is coincident with a hot column. The XRT software allows a proper correction for the presence of hot columns for point-like sources.
