P. Schady (MSSL-UCL), M. Stamatikos (GSFC/ORAU) report on behalf of the
Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT observed the field of GRB080130 (Copete et al., GCN 7242)
approximately 11hrs after the possible burst, in the v, u, uvw1, uvm2 and
uvw2 filters. All three 2MASS sources mentioned by D'Avanzo et al. (GCN
7244) are detected in the UVOT observations. No new source is detected
within the XRT error circle (Starling et al., GCN 7243) in any of the UVOT
observations down to the following 3-sigma upper limits:
Filter Tmid (s) Exp.(s) 3-sig UL
v 40760 424 > 19.31
u 41979 248 > 19.47
uvw1 41631 424 > 19.68
uvm2 41195 424 > 19.79
uvw2 40324 424 > 19.07
The values quoted above are not corrected for the expected Galactic
extinction corresponding to a reddening of E(B-V)=0.19 mag in the
direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
