A. Blustin (MSSL), A. Falcone (PSU), D. Hinshaw
(GSFC-SPSYS), P. Meszaros (PSU) report on behalf of
the Swift UVOT team:
Using summed images from Swift/UVOT of the field of
GRB 050713A, taken from 75 seconds after the BAT
trigger, no new source is detected within the XRT
error circle (Falcone et al., GCN 3581) in any of
the six filters down to the following 3-sigma
magnitude upper limits:
Filter Exposure (s) T_mid (s) 3-sig limit
V 129 252 17.98
B 36 351 18.08
U 39 309 17.81
UVW1 39 325 16.85
UVM2 39 311 17.13
UVW2 29 326 17.08
where T_mid is the mid-point of the summed observation.
The image background is significantly higher than
expected at this location due to the proximity of a
6.56 V magnitude star (HD 204408).
We caution that the instrument is not yet fully
calibrated and that the magnitude limits presented here
may need to be refined.
