image paragraph message for exposure 2 of trigger 1220736


THIS MESSAGE IS *NOT* READY FOR DISTRIBUTION.
MORE ANALYSIS IS REQUIRED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THERE IS AN AFTERGLOW CANDIDATE.
IMAGE PROBLEM: high density of stars
SRCLIST PROBLEM: high density of stars, srclist filled telemetry buffer
See notes for more details.
2 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 GRB240408 (Swift/BAT trigger 1220736) at 15:13:54 UT,

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

UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 250 seconds with the U filter starting
299 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 100% of the
XRT error circle. Because of the density of catalogued stars, further analysis
is required to report an upper limit for any afterglow in the sub-image. The
8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the XRT
error circle. Because of the density of catalogued stars, further analysis is
required to report an upper limit for any afterglow in the region. No
correction has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of
0.287.
