GRB 120709A: Swift/UVOT Upper Limits

F. E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC) and C. A. Swenson (***BA_INSTITUTION***)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 120709A
881424 s after the LAT trigger (***Author*** et al., GCN Circ. ????).
No optical afterglow consistent with the  position

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 initial exposures are:

Filter         T_start(s)   T_stop(s)      Exp(s)         Mag

u               881424       950171         4927         >21.9

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.03 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
