In this work we present the analysis and standard afterglow modeling of GRB 050802. The UV and X-ray temporal data obtained from the SWIFT/UVOT telescopes show several nonstandard effects at early times. After this time the data can be fitted with a power law consistent with the available optical data. Additionally, we observed evidence of brightness contribution from the host galaxy of the GRB at later times. We use this knowledge to fit a slow cooling interstellar medium model, explained in this work. Together with other analyzed GRBs, this work will help develop and better understand GRB modeling techniques.
