Swift/UVOT has carried out 1 observation of the combined LVK/Swift-BAT-GUANO error region for the GW trigger S250223dk (GCN 39443), centered on the most-probable location (RA,Dec = 85.4260, -47.5420 [J2000]; GCN 39485). UVOT collected 4.9 ks of data from 106 ks to 140 ks after the LVK trigger, using the White filter.
For the X-ray sources reported by Evans et al. (GCN 39485): X1, X5, and X6 are outside of the UVOT field of view. X2 is not detected, with a 3 sigma detection limit > 21.54 mag (AB). X3 is not detected, with a 3 sigma detection limit > 23.01 mag (AB). X7 is not detected, with a 3 sigma detection limit > 23.09 (AB). X4 is detected (20.14 +/- 0.03 mag, AB) but its position is coincident with a known source (classified as an AGN in the AllWISE catalog), WISEA J054219.27-473400.6.
No uncatalogued/transient sources are detected, with an average 3 sigma limit > 23.0 mag (AB) over the UVOT field of view.
