TITLE:   GCN CIRCULAR
NUMBER:  6066
SUBJECT: GRB 070129: Swift/UVOT Upper limits

M. M. Chester (PSU) and O. Godet (U. Leicester) report on behalf
of the Swift UVOT team:

       The Swift/UVOT observed the field of GRB 070129 starting 124 s
after the BAT trigger (Godet et al. 2007, GCN Circ. 6053).  We do
not find any source, in any of the UVOT observations, inside the
refined XRT error circle (Godet et al., 2007 GCN Circ. 6056).

       The 3-sigma upper limits for detecting a source inside the XRT 
error circle in the V-band settling image, the finding-chart
exposures, and the co-added frames are:

extinction corresponding to a reddening of E_{B-V} = 0.14 mag towards
the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
