GCN Circular 14780

B. Porterfield (PSU) and S. T. Holland (STScI)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 
130605A 96 s after the BAT trigger (Holland et al., GCN Circ. 14773
Loading...
 
 ).
A source consistent with the optical position(Guelbenzu et al. GCN
Circ. 14774
Loading...
 
 ) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

The preliminary UVOT position is:
    RA  (J2000) = 08:58:08.61 = 134.53587 (deg.)
    Dec (J2000) = -33:27:40.2 = -33.46118 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.50 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) for the early exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic
extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.36 in the direction
of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
