M. De Pasquale (UCL-MSSL) and A. Maselli (INAF-IASFPA)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 160625A
7183 s after the BAT trigger (Maselli et al., GCN Circ. 19577).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position
(Burrows et al. GCN Circ. 19578) is detected in the UVOT exposures.
We note the presence of a source approximately 3'' from the
XRT position. This source is present in the USNO catalogue.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the
exposures are:
Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag
white 7183 7952 344 >20.8
v 8163 8363 197 >19.0
b 7548 7747 197 >19.9
u 7342 7542 197 >19.4
m2 8368 8483 113 >18.9
w2 7958 8158 197 >19.6
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the substantial Galactic
extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 1.51 in the direction of the
burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
