TL;DR: The Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) as discussed by the authors is one of the three instruments flying aboard the Swift Gamma-ray Observatory, which is designed to capture the early (∼1 min) UV and optical photons from the afterglow of gamma-ray bursts in the 170-600 nm band as well as long term observations of these afterglows.

TL;DR: The UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) as discussed by the authors is one of the three instruments flying aboard the Swift Gamma-ray Observatory, which is designed to capture the early (approximately 1 minute) UV and optical photons from the afterglow of gamma-ray bursts in the 170-600 nm band.

TL;DR: In this article, the photometric calibration of the Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) was performed with observations of standard stars and standard star fields that represent a wide range of spectral star types.
Journal ArticleDOI

K. O. Mason,A. A. Breeveld,R. Much,M. Carter,F. A. Cordova,Mark Cropper,John L. A. Fordham,H. Huckle,Cheng Ho,H. Kawakami,J. A. Kennea,T. Kennedy,J. P. D. Mittaz,Dirk Pandel,William C. Priedhorsky,T. Sasseen,R. Shirey,Philip J. Smith,Jean-Marie Vreux +18 more
TL;DR: The XMM-OM instrument as mentioned in this paper extends the spec- tral coverage of the XMMNewton observatory into the ultra-fine and optical range, and provides imaging and time- resolved data on targets simultaneously with observations in the EPIC and RGS.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photometric calibration of the UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) has been described, and details on other aspects of the calibration including a measurement of the point spread function with an assessment of the orbital variation and the effect on photometry.
