TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 3638 SUBJECT: Swift/UVOT Observations of GRB 050717 DATE: 05/07/17 17:54:35 GMT FROM: Alexander Blustin at MSSL-UCL A. Blustin (MSSL), C. Hurkett (U. Leicester), A. Smale (NASA HQ), L. Cominsky (Sonoma State U.) report on behalf of the Swift UVOT team: Using summed images from Swift/UVOT of the field of GRB 050717 (Hurkett et al., GCN 3633), taken from 78 seconds after the BAT trigger, no new source is detected within the refined XRT error circle (Hurkett et al., GCN 3636) in any of the six filters down to the following 3-sigma magnitude upper limits: Filter Exposure (s) T_mid (s) 3-sig limit V 168 424 19.00 B 75 524 19.59 U 78 511 19.34 UVW1 78 498 18.62 UVM2 78 483 18.79 UVW2 68 498 18.73 where T_mid is the mid-point of the summed observation. We caution that the instrument is not yet fully calibrated and that the magnitude limits presented here may need to be refined.
