GRB 060510A: Swift/UVOT Detection of an Optical Afterglow
S. T. Holland (NASA/GSFC & USRA) reports on behalf of the Swift/UVOT
team:
The Swift UVOT began observing GRB 060510A (trigger #209351,
Krimm et al., GCN Circular 5095) 82 seconds after the BAT trigger. We
detect the UVOT optical transient reported in the above Circular in
the White, V-, and U-band filters. The J2000 coordinates of the
afterglow are
RA = 06:23:27.98
Dec = -01:09:46.2
with an uncertainty of +/- 0.56 arcseconds (90% containment).
Magnitudes and 3-sigma upper limits are reported below.
