GCN Circular 22549

F. E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC) and E. Troja (NASA/GSFC/UMCP)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 180325A
82 s after the BAT trigger (Troja et al., GCN Circ. 22532
Not found
 
 
).
A fading source consistent with the enhanced XRT position
(Osborne et al. GCN Circ. 22539
Not found
 
 
)
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

The preliminary UVOT position is:
    RA  (J2000) =  10:29:42.59 = 157.42744 (deg.)
    Dec (J2000) = +24:27:48.6  =  24.46349 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.44 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:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.02 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
