Swift Observations of SN 2008A
Abstract
Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) observed the peculiar Type Ia SN 2008A (CBET #1193, CBET #1198) on 2008-01-07.58 UT and 2008-01-09.38UT. The following UVOT magnitudes were measured for these two epochs: v = 16.5 (634 s exposure time), 16.4 (337 s), b = 16.6 (113 s), 16.5 (337 s), u = 16.2 (285 s), 16.2 (337 s), uvw1 [181-321nm] = 17.7 (634 s), 17.7 (676 s), uvm2 [166-268 nm] = 19.1 (328 s), 19.1 (936 s), and uvw2 [112-264 nm] = 19.1 (454 s), 19.0 (1350 s).
