TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 40047 SUBJECT: GRB 250402A: Swift/UVOT Upper Limits DATE: 25/04/04 12:51:00 GMT FROM: Sam Shilling at Lancaster University shilling.sam@gmail.com
S. P. R. Shilling (Lancaster U.) and S. R. Oates (Lancaster U.) report on behalf of the Swift UVOT team:
Swift/UVOT observed the field of SVOM/ECLAIRs GRB 250402A (Chen et al. GCN Circ. 40014) for 2521 seconds in the U-band starting at 12:48:12 UT on 25/04/03, ~13 hours after the detection by SVOM/ECLAIRs.
No optical afterglow is detected within a 5" radius of the position of the uncatalogued X-ray source detected by Swift/XRT (Dichiara et al., GCN Circ. 40027) and SVOM/MXT (Maggi et al., GCN circ. 40019) or the optical afterglow detected by SVOM/VT (Xin et al., GCN Circ. 40015), LCOGT (Pérez-Fournon et al., GCN Circ. 40020), and the SVOM/COLIBRÍ (Magnani et al., GCN Circ. 40023).
The Swift/UVOT non-detection in the U-band has a preliminary 3-sigma upper limit of >21.1, calculated using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373).
