TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 16588 SUBJECT: GRB 140713A: Swift/UVOT Upper Limits DATE: 14/07/14 11:31:48 GMT FROM: Alice Breeveld at MSSL-UCL A. A. Breeveld (UCL-MSSL) and V. Mangano (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 140713A 76 s after the BAT trigger (Mangano et al., GCN Circ. 16581). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Beardmore et al. GCN Circ. 16585) 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 76 226 147 >21.8 u_FC 288 538 246 >20.8 white 76 7155 608 >22.9 v 618 7547 313 >20.9 b 544 29522 422 >21.5 u 288 29406 2244 >21.8 w1 669 17514 1084 >21.3 m2 644 11576 357 >20.5 w2 594 7361 333 >20.7 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.05 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
