GRB 170519A: Swift/UVOT Detection
S. J. LaPorte (PSU) and T. N. Ukwatta (LANL)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 170519A
93 s after the BAT trigger (Ukwatta et al., GCN Circ. 21106).
A fading source consistent with the XRT position
(Beardmore et al. GCN Circ. 21107)
is detected in all initial UVOT exposures.
The preliminary UVOT position is:
RA (J2000) = 10:53:42.45 = 163.42688 (deg.)
Dec (J2000) = +25:22:27.5 = 25.37431 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.42 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).
Preliminary detections using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the early exposures are:
