TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 38564 SUBJECT: GRB 241213A: Swift/UVOT Upper Limits DATE: 24/12/13 22:54:19 GMT FROM: Sam Shilling at Lancaster University shilling.sam@gmail.com
S.P.R. Shilling (Lancaster) and R. Gupta (NASA GSFC) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 241213A 106 s after the BAT trigger (Gupta et al., GCN Circ. 38547). No optical afterglow consistent with the enhanced XRT position (Osborne et al., GCN Circ. 38552) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:
Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag
white_FC 106 256 147 >20.6 u_FC 318 568 246 >19.8 white 106 945 259 >20.7 v 648 4786 236 >19.2 b 573 766 39 >19.0 u 318 742 265 >19.9 w1 698 5045 67 >18.7 m2 673 4991 216 >19.5 w2 624 4581 236 >19.5
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.060 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
