image paragraph message for exposure 3 of trigger 1218701


THIS MESSAGE IS *NOT* READY FOR DISTRIBUTION.
MORE ANALYSIS IS REQUIRED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THERE IS AN AFTERGLOW CANDIDATE.
IMAGE PROBLEM: partial overlap
SRCLIST PROBLEM: no srclist afterglow info
See notes for more details.

WARNING -- because of the LARGE EXTINCTION, results should be used cautiously.
1 source(s) near the XRT position were rejected as afterglow candidate(s). See
notes for details.

------ Start for Possible Stand-alone Circular ----

In response to GRB240305 (Swift/BAT trigger 1218701) at 04:13:42 UT,

---- UVOT paragraph for Joint or Stand-alone Circular ----

UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter
starting 4934 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate
has been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 79%
of the XRT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 19.6
mag. Results from the list of sources generated on-board are not available at
this time. No correction has been made for the large, but uncertain, extinction
expected.

UVOT exposure began at MET 731309790.23974 or about 2024:065:05:36:25 UT
No information found about the number of stars in the star catalog for srclist
region.

Found 13 source(s) in Genie image catalog. 1 source(s) are within 10.0" of the
xrt position. Found 2 Genie image source(s) without IDs. There are 0 good
candidate(s) in the Genie image catalog. Good candidates must be brighter than
20.57 mag. Found 206 stars in largest star catalog for Genie image region. The
stars will eliminate afterglows from about 19% of the Genie image region.

Genie image analysis:
Found 68534.1 counts in the large background region of 5874.0 pixels or a rate
of 11.667 counts/pixel in a radius of 45.0 arcsec. Based on this background,
the typical 5-sigma UL at a random point in the Genie image is 19.84 mag. for a
4-arcsec aperture.
Found 1 Genie source(s) within 10.0" of the XRT position. The brightest such
source has ra= 229.7289 dec= -57.3643 mag=19.20 sep=5.45". The closest Genie
source has ra= 229.7289 dec= -57.3643 mag=19.20 sep=5.45".

Report rejected UVOT sources within 10 arcsec XRT position.
Such sources are usually NOT the afterglow.

****THIS SOURCE NEAR XRT POSITION WAS REJECTED--USE WITH CAUTION****
UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter
starting 4934 seconds after the BAT trigger. There is a candidate afterglow in
the rapidly available 2.7'x2.7' sub-image at

arc sec. from the center of the XRT error circle. The estimated magnitude is
19.20 with a 1-sigma error of about 0.16. No correction has been made for the
large, but uncertain, extinction expected.
