Abstract
The Swift/UltraViolet-Optical Telescope is one of the instruments on board the Swift satellite, a NASA’s MIDEX
spatial mission dedicated to Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB) multiwavelength studies, with participation of U.K. and Italy. ASDC hosts one of the official Swift archive mirrors and develop the official X-Ray Telescope software. At the ASDC an activity of UVOT image processing is on going, mainly aimed to the study of the extra-galactic Blazar sources and includes Blazar ToO and some GRB observations. The UVOT data processing includes already about 2000 observations.
The UVOT Sky coverage is mostly uniform, due to the isotropic spatial distribution of the GRB events, thus we verified the readibility of the UVOT data to study candidate fields for the PLATO mission in the Optical/UV bands.
