report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 130725A
(Zhang et al., GCN Circ. 15028) 3097 s after the BAT trigger (trigger=563980).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position is
detected in the initial 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 3097 3247 147 >21.1
white 3097 4480 344 >21.0
v 3255 10746 1278 >20.4
b 4075 5690 373 >20.4
u 3870 17226 1118 >21.0
w1 3665 16476 1279 >21.0
m2 3460 11458 1089 >21.0
w2 4486 9832 1082 >21.1
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.06 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
