A. Breeveld (UCL-MSSL) and F. E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 180709A 115 s after the BAT trigger (Marshall et al., GCN Circ. 22930). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position *** POSITION REFERENCE is GCN_Notice *** 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 115 264 147 >20.9 u_FC 273 523 246 >20.3 white 115 264 147 >20.9 u 273 523 246 >20.3 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 2.72 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
