GCN Circular 38207

A. A. Breeveld (UCL-MSSL) and M. H. Siegel (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began observations of the field of GRB 241113A 61 s after the BAT trigger (Siegel et al., GCN Circ. 38194
Not found
 
 
) with a short settling exposure in v, and a longer finding chart exposure in the white filter.
A fading source consistent with the XRT position (Goad et al., GCN Circ. 38198
Not found
 
 
) and also detected by Francile et al. (GCN Circ. 38195
Not found
 
 
), Huertas Ferrer et al. (GCN Circ. 38197
Not found
 
 
), Izzo et al. (GCN Circ. 38201
Not found
 
 
) and Ferro et al. (GCN Circ. 38206
Not found
 
 
) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

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) = 0.030 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
