L. M. Z. Hagen (PSU) reports on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 140102A 65 s
after the BAT trigger (Hagen et al., GCN Circ. 15653). We detect a fading
source consistent with the XRT position (Goad et al. GCN Circ. 15657) that
is detected in all but the bluest UVOT filters.
The preliminary UVOT position is:
RA (J2000) = 14:07:40.65 = 211.91939 (deg.)
Dec (J2000) = +01:19:59.8 = 1.33329 (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:
Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag
white (fc) 65 215 147 16.07 +/- 0.03
white 557 2215 322 18.38 +/- 0.05
white 6222 7858 393 20.08 +/- 0.21
v 607 2265 194 18.21 +/- 0.23
b 533 2191 175 18.50 +/- 0.15
u (fc) 278 527 245 16.90 +/- 0.05
u 681 2166 155 17.97 +/- 0.14
w1 657 2142 175 19.10 +/- 0.33
m2 631 2117 175 >19.34
w2 6428 8034 364 >19.96
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.03 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
