P. Schady and A.M. Parsons report on behalf of the Swift UVOT team
The Swift/UVOT re-observed the field of GRB070805 on 2007-08-07 at
14:36 UT, 1.8 days after the BAT trigger (GCN Circ. 6708). The
uncatalogued source detected by UVOT in previous white band
observations (GCN Circ. 6716) is detected and does not show any sign of
decay. It is therefore unlikely that this source is the afterglow of
GRB070805.
