TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 11812 SUBJECT: GRB 110319A: Swift/UVOT Detection DATE: 11/03/19 15:19:16 GMT FROM: Mike Siegel at PSU/Swift MOC M. H. Siegel (PSU), S. T. Holland (CRESST/USRA/GSFC) and A. Melandri (INAF-OAB) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 110319A 65s after the BAT trigger (Melandri et al, GCN Circ 11807). We identify an optical afterglow near the enchanced XRT position given by Melandri et al. (GCN Circ. 11810). The transient is only detected in the optical filters and shows fading between the first and second orbits. The preliminary UVOT position is: RA (J2000) 23:46:00.69 = 356.50287 (deg) Dec (J2000) -66:00:40.4 = -66.01122 (deg) with an estimated uncertainty of 0.44 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence, statistical + systematic). Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits and magnitudes using the UVOT photometric system (Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627) for the exposures are: Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag white (fc) 65 215 147 18.36+-0.07 white 3924 5560 393 20.32+-0.22 v 4336 5971 393 >19.56 b 3719 5355 393 19.51+-0.21 b 11317 11950 615 >20.63 u 277 395 115 18.13+-0.13 u 4950 11310 1081 19.76+-0.18 uvw1 4745 4945 196 >19.72 uvw1 9497 10397 885 >20.58 uvm2 4540 4740 196 >19.64 uvm2 5976 6172 193 >19.69 uvw2 4131 4330 196 >19.91 uvw2 5566 5766 196 >19.91 The values quoted above are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.03 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
