H. Siegel (PSU) and S. J. LaPorte (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 180404B 82 s after the BAT trigger (LaPorte et al., GCN Circ. 22590). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Beardmore et al. GCN Circ. 22594) 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 82 231 147 >18.5 u_FC 295 544 246 >19.1 white 82 6620 608 >19.7 v 624 7031 510 >19.5 b 550 7661 322 >20.2 u 295 7647 736 >19.8 w1 674 7442 510 >20.6 m2 1600 7236 413 >20.5 w2 600 6826 452 >20.2 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.01 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998). =========== Draft Detection Circular ======== GRB 180404B: Swift/UVOT Detection M. H. Siegel (PSU) and S. J. LaPorte (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 180404B 82 s after the BAT trigger (LaPorte et al., GCN Circ. 22590). A source consistent with the XRT position (Beardmore et al. GCN Circ. 22594) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. The preliminary UVOT position is: RA (J2000) = 03:33:34.23 = 53.39262 (deg.) Dec (J2000) = -50:12:54.2 = -50.21506 (deg.) with an estimated uncertainty of 0.46 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 82 231 147 18.70 +/- 0.07 v 624 7031 510 >19.5 b 550 7661 322 >20.2 u 295 1670 343 19.77 +/- 0.21 w1 674 7442 510 >20.6 m2 1600 7236 413 >20.5 w2 600 6826 452 >20.2 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.01 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
