TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 19720 SUBJECT: GRB 160714A: Swift/UVOT Upper Limits DATE: 16/07/16 21:27:44 GMT FROM: Mike Siegel at PSU/Swift MOC M. H. Siegel (PSU)reports on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 160714A 1682 s after the BAT trigger (Siegel et al., GCN Circ. 19697). No optical afterglow consistent with the BAT position is detected in the 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) 1682 1831 147 >20.14 white 1914 8131 292 >21.04 v 1964 8542 293 >19.67 b 1889 7926 293 >20.12 u 1865 7720 490 >20.07 uvw1 1840 2908 293 >20.06 uvw2 1939 8336 235 >20.08 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.02 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
