Further Swift observations of GRB130505B - a possible Galactic transient?
Abstract
The optical source identified by Swift/UVOT in the field of MAXI GRB130505A (Kocevski et al., GCN circ. 14594) and coincident with SDSS J091721.89+014203.2 has dimmed by more than 3 magnitudes between 58.6 and 86.7 ks after the trigger (Serino et al., GCN circ. 14586), and it is not detected in the last exposure, centered at 153.9 ks, down to a 3 sigma upper limit of u = 22.1.
