Abstract

The Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) which is one of three scientific instruments onboard the NASA-led Swift satellite provides simultaneous ultraviolet and optical photometric data. We present the installing procedures of HEASoft software and the detailed method for using the HEASoft in UVOT photometric data processions. We focus on the application of photometry processes, and present the photometry of Quasar PKS 0537-441. The analysis of the photometric data shows that this source has extreme variations in optical and ultraviolet bands and the shape of photometric flux curves in each band is excellently in agreement with each other.
