J. LaPorte (PSU) and R. L. C. Starling (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 180728A 1740 s after the BAT trigger (Starling et al., GCN Circ. 23046). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Osborne et al. GCN Circ. 23051) 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 1740 1890 147 >16.2 white 1740 15163 887 >16.7 v 1897 32152 1376 >17.3 b 1995 20909 1450 >17.7 u 1970 26655 2317 >17.1 w1 1946 37525 3417 >17.3 m2 1921 36948 2481 >17.8 w2 2045 31239 1318 >17.5 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.29 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998). =========== Draft Detection Circular ======== GRB 180728A: Swift/UVOT Detection S.
