A. Cucchiara (PSU), C. Guidorzi (U.Bicocca & INAF-OAB)
report on behalf of the Swift-UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT observed the field of GRB070729 (trigger=286373)
starting 2007-0729 at 00:27:24, 91 s after the BAT trigger (Guidorzi et al.
2007, GCN Circ. 6678). We do not find any new source in any of the UVOT
observations inside the refined XRT error circle (Guidorzi 2007, GCN Circ.
6782).

The 3-sigma upper limits (in the UVOT photometric system,
Breeveld et al., GCN Circ. 6614)for detecting a source inside the XRT error
circle in the first finding chart (FC) exposure and the co-added frames
(including the finding chart) are listed below:

Filter       Tstart   Tstop    Exposure    Magnitude
               (s)     (s)       (s)      (3-sigma UL)
White FC       91      191      99.7        20.27

uvw2         4652    28966      2164        21.46

The values quoted above are not corrected for the expected Galactic
extinction corresponding to a reddening of E_{B-V} = 0.02 mag in the
direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
