(UCL-MSSL) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began observing the field of GRB 060607 at 05:15:12 on
2006-06-06, 179 s after the BAT trigger (Ziaeepour et al., GCN 5233). An
optical counterpart was detected in the V-band at a position (RA,DEC) (21h
58m 50.4s, -22d 29' 47.4'') (J2000) to within 0.5 arcsec. The optical
afterglow was detected in white, V, B and U filters. The non-detections in
the UV bands is consistent with reported redshift z=3 (Ledoux et al., GCN 5237).
The photometry results are given for the 7 filters below:
Filter T_Start(s) Exposure(s) Magnitude/3sig_UL
V 179 486.9 15.35 +/-0.09
V 7880 127.1 18.16 +/-0.33
B 5833 194.9 19.13 +/-0.18
B 7265 192.5 19.48 +/-0.28
U 7061 187.8 18.87 +/-0.34
W1 5429 1257 18.83 (3 sigma UL)
M2 6651 1075 20.47 (3 sigma UL)
W2 1843 383.1 19.97 (3 sigma UL)
WHITE 74 97.4 15.98 +/-0.15
WHITE 6037 188.4 18.89 +/-0.17

extinction E(B-V)=0.03
