GRB050916: Swift/UVOT Upper Limits
P. J. Brown (PSU), D. Morris (PSU), H. Huckle (UCL-MSSL),
B. Hancock (UCL-MSSL), and N. Gehrels (GSFC)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began observing the field of GRB 050916
(Swift Trigger #155408) on 2005/09/16 at 16:39:20 UT,
207 seconds after the BAT trigger (Morris et al. GCN 3991).
No source is detected within the XRT error circle
(Morris et al. GCN 3996) in the initial 100 second V-band image
down to a 5-sigma upper limit of 17.9, or in summed exposures
in any of the UVOT filters down to the following 5-sigma upper limits:
Filter T_range (s) Exp (s) 5sigma UL
V 207 - 74,597 4455 19.9
B 353 - 65,371 4374 20.7
U 339 - 63,016 4207 20.4
UVW1 325 - 58,536 4152 20.1
UVM2 311 - 53,803 4223 20.0
UVW2 368 - 69,038 3706 20.2
The magnitudes are uncorrected for extinction,
which is extremely high as this direction lies in the galactic plane.
