We observed the Fast Blue Optical Transient (FBOT) candidate SN2022sat (Gutierrez et al. 2022, TNS Classification Report No. 13124) with Swift starting on 2022-08-30 at 02:44:54.00.
The X-ray Telescope (XRT) observed SN2022sat for 1750 s in Photon Counting mode, deriving an upper limit on the 0.3-10 keV count rate of 7.69E-03 c/s.
The UtraViolet and Optical Telescope (UVOT) observed SN2022sat with the m2 filter for 1719 s. The source is well detected with an AB magnitude of 18.50+/-0.04.
This confirms the blue nature of this object.
