Abstract
Following the reported flaring activity of the flat spectrum radio quasar OG 050 (TXS 0529+075, z=1.254) in the GeV energy band (ATel#3750) Swift ToO observations were requested and performed on 2011 Nov. 11 and Nov. 15, when the source was still in an active gamma-ray state. Swift XRT data were taken in photon counting mode for a net exposure of about 3ksec for both the observations.
