report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB
130605A 96 s after the BAT trigger (Holland et al., GCN Circ. 14773).
A source consistent with the optical position(Guelbenzu et al. GCN
Circ. 14774) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
The preliminary UVOT position is:
RA (J2000) = 08:58:08.61 = 134.53587 (deg.)
Dec (J2000) = -33:27:40.2 = -33.46118 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.50 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).
Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the
UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc.
1358, 373) for the early exposures are:
Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag
white fc 95 202 105 16.40+-0.07
wh 5498 5698 196 21.04+-0.29
v 4474 6109 393 19.90+-0.36
b 5294 30053 1355 >21.70
u 5089 35820 3306 >21.45
w1 4884 35150 3778 >21.57
m2 4679 34243 2860 >21.02
w2 5705 39258 421 >20.27
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic
extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.36 in the direction
of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
