GCN Circular 12880

M. M. Chester (PSU) and A. P. Beardmore (U Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 120119A
62 s after the BAT trigger (Beardmore et al., GCN Circ. 12859
Not found
 
 
).
A source consistent with the XRT position (Beardmore et al., GCN Circ.
12876
Not found
 
 
) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

The preliminary UVOT position is:
     RA  (J2000) =  08:00:06.93 = 120.02889 (deg.)
     Dec (J2000) = -09:04:53.7  =  -9.08159 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.59 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).

Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT
photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373)  
are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic  
extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.11 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
