Swift Observations of SN 2006dd in NGC 1316
Abstract
We report on Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) and X-Ray Telescope (XRT) observations of SN 2006dd (cf. CBET #533) obtained on June 20.71 UT. We confirm the detection of a new object at R.A. = 03h22m41s.64, Decl. = -37o12'13".2 (equinox 2000.0) as compared to Digitized Sky Survey images, consistent with the position reported by Monard in CBET #553, with UVOT magnitudes of V = 14.0 (167 s exposure time), B = 14.5 (259 s), U = 13.7 (258 s), UVW1 [181-321 nm] = 15.5 (520 s), UVM2 [166-268 nm] = 17.9 (881 s), and UVW2 [112-264 nm] = 18.1 (881 s).
