J. Klingler (GSFC/UMBC/CRESTII) and T. M. Parsotan (GSFC) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 241209D 3548 s after the BAT trigger (Parsotan et al., GCN Circ. 38489). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position *** POSITION REFERENCE is GCN_Circulars-38491 *** 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 3548 3698 147 >19.2 white 3548 4318 344 >19.3 v 4529 4696 165 >18.5 b 3913 4113 197 >19.5 u 3707 3907 197 >18.8 w2 4324 4524 197 >18.4 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.038 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998). =========== Draft Detection Circular ======== GRB 241209D: Swift/UVOT Detection N. J. Klingler (GSFC/UMBC/CRESTII) and T. M. Parsotan (GSFC) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 241209D 3548 s after the BAT trigger (Parsotan et al., GCN Circ. 38489). A source consistent with the XRT position *** POSITION REFERENCE is GCN_Circulars-38491 *** is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. The preliminary UVOT position is: RA (J2000) = 12:40:26.90 = 190.11207 (deg.) Dec (J2000) = -02:53:28.6 = -2.89128 (deg.) with an estimated uncertainty of 0.62 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 3548 3698 147 19.62 +/- 0.18 v 4529 4696 165 >18.5 b 3913 4113 197 >19.5 u 3707 3907 197 >18.8 w2 4324 4524 197 19.03 +/- 0.24 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.038 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
