S. T. Holland (STScI) and V. D'Elia (ASDC) report on behalf of the
Swift/UVOT team:
Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 140412A
237 s after the BAT trigger (D'Elia et al. 2014, GCNC 16097). We do
not detect any new source consistent with the UVOT-enhanced XRT
afterglow position (Goad et al. 2014, GCNC 16100) in any of the UVOT
exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits, using the UVOT
photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373),
for the finding chart and summed exposures are presented below.
---------------------------------------------------
Filter TSTART TSTOP Exposure Mag
---------------------------------------------------
v 393 1055 69 >19.0
b 491 6805 255 >21.0
u 466 6599 309 >20.6
uvw1 442 4815 255 >20.0
uvm2 418 4610 255 >19.6
uvw2 541 1040 58 >18.7
white 237 6811 336 >21.8
---------------------------------------------------
The quoted upper limits have not been corrected for the expected
extinction due to the Galactic reddening along the line of sight to
this burst of E(B-V) = 0.19 mag (Schlafly et al. 2011, ApJS, 737,
103).
