image paragraph message for exposure 1 of trigger 1343270


THIS MESSAGE IS *NOT* READY FOR DISTRIBUTION.
MORE ANALYSIS IS REQUIRED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THERE IS AN AFTERGLOW CANDIDATE.
IMAGE PROBLEM: no overlap
SRCLIST PROBLEM: high density of stars, srclist filled telemetry buffer
See notes for more details.

WARNING -- because of the LARGE EXTINCTION, results should be used cautiously.

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

In response to GRB250818 (Swift/BAT trigger 1343270) at 01:31:22 UT,

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

UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 250 seconds with the U filter starting
162 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 none of the
XRT error circle. 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 large, but uncertain,
extinction expected.

Large extinction of 5.454 found for bat position. Unreliable extinction found
for xrt position. XRT position found for srclist. XRT position found for Genie
image. BAT position found.

UVOT exposure began at MET 777173681.319 or about 2025:231:01:34:36 UT
Since the srclist star catalog filled its buffer, the sensitivity for an
afterglow may be REDUCED. The stars will eliminate afterglows from about 47%
or more of the srclist region. Found 190 sources in srclist catalog. WARNING --
srclist catalog buffer filled. Found 25 srclist source(s) without IDs. There
are 0 good candidate(s) in the srclist catalog. Good candidates must be
brighter than 18.12 mag.

Found 5 source(s) in Genie image catalog. Found 0 Genie image source(s) without
IDs. There are 0 good candidate(s) in the Genie image catalog. Good candidates
must be brighter than 18.32 mag. Found 522 stars in largest star catalog for
Genie image region. The stars will eliminate afterglows from about 53% of the
Genie image region. The Genie image is INCOMPLETE with 22548 null pixels.


Found no Genie image background information. The number of srclist sources
filled the available telemetry. The weakest source detected was 18.41 mag. The
closest srclist source has ra= 213.8012 dec= -58.0050 mag=17.02 sep=32.60". The
closest Genie source has ra= 213.7598 dec= -58.0277 mag=18.24 sep=91.25".

All AG candidates sorted by magnitude for the current finding chart.
(U/V/White SRCLIST mags < 17.5/17.5/18.5 are reliable. Mag > 18.5/18.5/19.5 are
not. Others are uncertain.)
