NOTE: A UVOT position was reported in uvotdetect NOTE: Possible detection in wh at T+59803.8 =========== Draft Upper Limit Circular ======== GRB 120830A: Swift/UVOT Upper Limits M. H. Siegel (PSU) and W. H. Baumgartner (***BA INSTITUTION***) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 120830A 59804 s after the LAT/IPN trigger (***Author*** et al., GCN Circ. ????). No optical afterglow consistent with the uvot position *** POSITION REFERENCE is uvotdetect *** 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 white 59804 67311 3679 >20.3 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.032 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998). =========== Draft Detection Circular ======== GRB 120830A: Swift/UVOT Detection M. H. Siegel (PSU) and W. H. Baumgartner (***BA INSTITUTION***) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 120830A 59804 s after the LAT/IPN trigger (***Author*** et al., GCN Circ. ????). A source consistent with the uvot position *** POSITION REFERENCE is uvotdetect *** is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. The preliminary UVOT position is: RA (J2000) = 05:54:00.65 = 88.50270 (deg.) Dec (J2000) = -28:42:06.4 = -28.70178 (deg.) with an estimated uncertainty of 0.55 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence). Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the early exposures are: Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag white 59804 59998 191 20.46 +/- 0.14 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.032 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
