TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 6481 SUBJECT: Swift/UVOT refined analysis of GRB070531 DATE: 07/05/31 20:28:55 GMT FROM: Massimiliano de Pasquale at MSSL-UCL M. De Pasquale (MSSL/UCL) and C. B. Markwardt (GSFC/UMD) report, on the behalf of Swift UVOT team: The Swift Ultraviolet/Optical telescope (UVOT) began its White filter finding chart exposure of GRB070531 (Markwardt et al., GCN circ. 6475) 135 seconds after the trigger. No optical afterglow is detected inside the refined XRT error circle (Page et al., GCN circ. 6477), in the initial V and White filter exposures and the summed exposures in all filters. In the following table, we report the 3 sigma upper limits for any optical afterglow .
